This is my new floor wellcraft 18 fisherman, my question is in the borders where the floor was tabbed to the old one after sanding is almost smooth I will paint the entire inside with gelcoat, what can i use to give the floor a smooth finish before I paint, been reading about differents product (fairing compound), would like to have feedback from some of you guys.

Just get a fairing compound that is compatible with whatever type of resin you're using. Stay away from fumed silica (aerosil/cabosil); that will work, but it gets really hard and is difficult to sand.
