I am thinking of Awlggipping my 28 te hull has anyone done this and what are the good points and bad points about the job just doing the hull from green to fighting lady yellow does anyone have an Albin in that color

I had a boat Awlgripped in 04. Still looks freshly done today. The process is not cheap but the result is far better than gelcoat IMO.

A colour on a boat sure looks purdy but is difficult to keep up. The lighter the better. Perhaps a white with a touch of whatever colour will last longer.

Thanks for the reply looks like my 28 te is getting awlgriped within the next week

There was a discussion a little while back on the topic:

Downsides seem to be cost and somewhat different maintenance steps. Upside is a like new shiny hull in your favorite color! Take some before and afters for us. Sounds awesome. I've never seen an Albin in FLY before!

Fighting lady yellow? Is that the pastel yellow I see on boats?
