Re: bottom coatings I have Gator glide and like it. A 1/2 gallon will do.

Re: bottom coatings I had Steel Flex on two boats and it was better than nothing til it started chipping off. I would try something else.

Re: bottom coatings Gator Glide for sure! I've turned a bunch of my buddies onto it and we all love having it. It doesn't chip like the others. Instead, it wears like the tread of a tire. Essentially, it becomes thinner and less slick. When that happens, you just go back over it with a coat or two, and you're as good as new. No need to redo the primer or smooth out chipped spots or anything. PM Frog on here. I've never dealt with him, but he's been very helpful to other users on here that I've seen.
You're gonna shit the first time you go to slide over a beaver dam, grass or a piece of land with your bottom done! If you don't immediately turn around to do it again the first time it happens, I'll pay you back what you spent on the Gator Glide...

Re: bottom coatings Will any of these coatings help fill in scratches & small hooks? I know its not Bondo, but I was hoping one of these products may help cover up some of my battle scars!

Re: bottom coatings The company who makes steelflex offers something to fill in the dents before the slick stuff is put on. Check fasco epoxies' website.
