    17ft Bayliner Capri bowrider project

    LOL watch boatworks epoxy is more brittle and broke in the test before poly. Poly don't stick to epoxy. Gel coat don't stick to epoxy. Once cured epoxy don't stick to epoxy. It is batting a thousand I see where it gets its reputation. It is for a quick fix sell and good luck in the future deals.
