I have been a bit undecided about posting this but here goes.
I bought a Sea Kayak - it is a great shape but I bought too lightweight a model.
The kayak has a Core-lite core and from what I can see is only covered with gel coat on the outside.
I do like to use a sea kayak to the full and don’t want to feel I should not try something because my boat is too delicate.
I also used a trolley and damaged the gel coat.
I wondered it would be feasible to remove the outside gel coat and replace with something stronger/stiffer/generally more robust.
To emphasize -I would prefer strength and rigidity rather than lightness
I have no experience with any of the products on this site but I do work in a job requiring skill with my hands, enjoy tinkering around the garage and enjoy a project.
One alternative that does comes to mind is just sell it and buy another. But ….
Could somebody help me with any other suggestions?
