Well here is my boat all cleaned up and ready for the water! I put another coat of gel coat over the repair area with foam brushes for the 3rd time. The finish came out smooth and shinny. I then wet-sanded with some fine grit paper, and decided enough was enough. The hull is water tight and "good enough". I compounded and waxed (lots of dirt came up off the gel coat), and installed my ratchet block. I also tied a rope bridle using some Marlow line and a few bowlines. Perhaps in the winter I will install a new bridle. I also reinstalled the painted coaming, and re-caulked it last night.
