Need to get up there someday. I've spent a lifetime talking about that trip...

Re: Marshall's FS17
Ran across this statement just now about the FS17
You may have read it too. I don't know where you will be operating your boat, but this is something to consider.Aripeka Angler wrote: ↑Tue Feb 25, 2020 7:10 pm IMHO, the fs17 is too small for 2 adults and 2 growing children.
I’ve actually been aboard two non-imaginary fs17 boats.
One in Texas and one in Crystal River.
The boat is snotty wet in a heavy chop.
I’m sure spray rails would help though.
Based on your suggested needs, I’d build the bigger boat.

4 adults (and 2 dogs) is comfortable in my FS17 even with some chop, but I did built the raised sheer version. Its not dry but I wouldn't say it's any more wet than other 17' boats, probably less wet if you slow way down.

The good news is they can always be added later...

Yipe, and I am thinking the same thing on my FS14.

QuickFair
I've applied the blended filler and should have the rub rails along with the skeg ready this week (my plan is to attach each after the final fairing). I'm probably ready to start with the QuickFair. I am seeking some general guidance: How to mix? Is this temperature sensitive? How best to apply? What tool is better? Any general guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Small batches. I use medicine cups. 3 volume ounces.
Kicks fast. Big areas first!

Re: Marshall's FS17
By weight, not volume...correct? What kind of trowel or applicator tends to work best?

No, by volume. About two medicine cups to one.MarshallTX wrote: ↑Sun Oct 02, 2022 8:37 pm By weight, not volume...correct? What kind of trowel or applicator tends to work best?
By weight QF is 100:44
I use a 3" and a 4" trowel unless I am trying to finish a wider area.. If you use a flexible trowel; you have to be careful to not pull too much compound, so I have a few different trowel stiffnesses..

Final sanding before prime
Any guidance on grit# before priming? I'm a few days away (I hope) and wondering if there is a good technique.
