I crawled under my trailer and took a couple pictures of the wear/damage on the bottom of the hulls of my Nacra 450. Looks like the gelcoat is worn off both of them in the same place, right before it curves up to the transom. About 4-6" long by 1" wide. From these points forward, it's worn off a little, but not near as badly.
First pic here is of the port hull, next pic on next post will be of the starboard hull. Last pic, 3rd post, will be of the port hull, forward of the first pic.
I've never repaired gelcoat. I think I got Meguire's products for taking out scratches and minor blems in the gelcoat. Got that problem on another boat. The cat hull skeg repair would need new gelcoat or epoxy or whatever. I've read a little about gelcoat repair. West System is mentioned a fair amount.
So what is needed here, and what are the different methods? I'll checkout a book or 2 at the library. Vaitses and Wiley are 2 authors.
Also, this damage was done, I'm sure, by beaching the cat by the previous owners. I won't be doing that much beaching at all. So what if I do nothing to it now?
