Eric, again, that is going to be a slick bottom on your boat!! Jeff

I'm hoping so. As you can see I just knocked off the spikes and scuffed the surface. As ugly as it is after sanding it feels like a piece of furniture after you Pledge

If the next coat comes out as good as the first one I would call it good and move on. I am pretty sure you will not until you have at least three coats on it and get to sand it at least one more time though
21 foot times three times is more than 45 foot one time I think

You can tell it is slick in the picture. It has a nice shine! I think this is going to be one fast boat with that slick of a hull. The first time you find bottom, I expect you will cry on the inside.

I predict five coats total... One down, four to go!

Jacques said three because of the way I did strakes. I found a quick way to sand it , so it's not that bad.
Peter Hagenaars brought up a good point too. He thinks I should cover the lower(outer) two strakes all the way.
I may go back and tape them off. After graphite I will have to seal them in plain epoxy so I can paint over them at the waterline though.
It will be a minor nuisance.

I'm surprised you only went with a single coat. I figure your coast is a heck of a lot more rocky than mine.

Gosh I hope three get it done.

You sanded one coat almost all the way off. I still count that coat because you put it on.

Very nice job on the graphite bottom paint. Looks perfect from here!
