Looks like the P18 needs some attention.  Bottom

  • I turned the P18 over the other day to find a nasty ding that is into the glass that I think I am going to have to give some attention to. There are other older ones but none as serious. The first pic is the one I just found, It is right in the middle on the inside of the hull near the keel. Also the bottoms really need some attention. This just the one side.

    I have heard many say you need to use polyester for a bottom job. I all ready have most of the Wests for a injection repair on the H17 so I really don't want to buy poly also. Anybody think it is a big deal to add some glass to the bottoms with wests. I do hope to add some gelcoat to it. What do I need to do extra to make it work?

  • Actually you would want to use west sytems or similar epoxy below the water line and not polyester. According to Don Casey. Hope that helps.
