if you changed the paradigm of 'must be perfect' (resale value) to 'good enough' (character); how many hours of labor would be saved?

Even I've had a cry in the cupboard watching you go through all this work!

What's the weight difference of the all the faring materials/gelcoat vs. a thin overlay? If you saved a month of build time with your boat being 0.01kt slower due to an extra 20lbs, you could be a month ahead in your travels.

Just remember, you're trying to do what would normally take 20 people 4 months to do (just a rough guess). So, it's a 3 year project for 2 people at least. Just have to embrace that it will take the time it needs and make strategic decisions about quality.

Sounds like a job for some big photo frames and wall art.

I just had to laugh, I have found fairing takes at least 3 applications….. Thinking you could do it in one go ???? not a chance…….reality bites and often it hurts.

Maybe you should bring in a ringer, to do a huge section of fairing.

Wildman1932 is on the money. I was also an automotive spray-painter for a few years and we would spray on primer-filler thick (HVLP Gun), heat it and leave it a few days, guide coat it, and then use the pneumatic 16inch sander to tear it off quickly (60-80 grit). We would then go back over it with 120-240 grit on a random orbital sander to get rid of the deep scratches. Once you're done recoat it with primer, guide coat it again, a light sand with a pneumatic random orbital sander (600 grit) and you're ready for paint. We used this method on a daily basis and it is much faster than what you're doing. I would even speak to a local Automotive Spray Shop about coming out and letting you know what to do.

Thank you Jessica. Not to minimize your pain, But yesterday was my wife of 42 years memorial and you trying to make yourself cry was some of the relief I needed. Please keep it up.

Well if it weren't for the dust and fumes on the up shot, the exercise you are getting is second to none for upper body stamina and heart health. I had the same feeling with my 30 footer on the hard at Tidewater on thr upper chesapeake bay. I am not trying to put a showroom piece together at all. I am hapoy just getting a coat of primer up. But structurally and for leaks thrrr are a few things i have to takecare of. I just don't have the time and trying to fit work over a two day weekend is just impossible. Septermber, October are really the only part of the year with decent outdoor working weather where chances of rain for a week are minimal then when everything is dry a shot on the weekend to do repairs.
