    GELCOAT

    I have read where people have a clear coat applied over the gel coat and loved it. If it was me and that was the route I was taking I'd only do the deck.

    Keel & Skeg Guards

    I would not install the skeg guard. Every one I have ever seen was made of stainless steel. Stainless is harder than Aluminum, and Id think if you did hit something that you would only do more damage than just breaking the skeg. Only my opinion! 1986 Ambassador 350, 260hp.

    Boat names.

    Once you've picked out the boat of your dreams, you have an even more difficult choice to make. Now you must name her, which is not an easy task. You have several considerations, including classic superstitions, and whether your friends and family will be embarrassed or offended by the name you...
