I used Toplac Plus !!!

Les

Thanks for the input Les! How is the finish holding up?

Reid, would you post a picture of your sharpened chine. I think I know what to do on the transom. Thanks

Reid where exactly do I need to create a sharp edge with putty? All the outside edges of the chine fender?

Strakes, chine steps and other skegs.

If you build one of my designs with a built-in step chine, I recommend to add some putty to that corner and build a sharp edge.

found it The chine fender will protect the hull sides when coming alongside a dock and also provide lift and dynamic lateral stability at high speed. If you plan to go fast, add the chine fender. You can make it wider. The lower face of the fender is located 2” (5 cm) above the DWL or 7” (175 mm) ab...
