Thanks for the feedback. I went to the Pettit site. Lots of good info there.

I am purchasing a pre owned Gulfstream that has never been bottom painted. I would like to know what is required to prep the gel coat for barrier coat. I prefer not to get the dust flying and so am thinking about wet sanding by hand with 80 grit. Do I just need to make sure the surface is dulled...

I am purchasing a 2007 Gulfstream and am wondering if the lower bunk filler cushions and their support came standard on that boat. Thanks in advance!

As I sit here scouring boattrader.com and craig'slist waiting for boats to start showing up for sale, I am still not 100% convinced a Seafarer 228 is the ideal Grady for me.
