So far the fairing really isnt as bad as everyone makes it seem. I've longboarded then applied fairing compound three times now and as getting close to done. A few questions -

I still need to attach my spray rails, any recommendations for the most effective/ best type to use?

Do you think I need to put a layer of fiberglass tape over my spray rails? Or is just an epoxy coating adequate?

I am going to use sterling paint, do you all recommend the system 3 high build primer or the sterling high build primer? How many gallons of primer do you think I need?

Thanks!!!

I wish i could say the same about fairing. Nice looking build so far. I used 3/4" maple for my spray rails, i think about 1.5-1.75" wide. I taped over them for durability and the bend was pretty tough and i didnt want them to pop off if i hit something.

Looks good. Brings back memories :D I would use a mold and make solid glass/epoxy rails, or use wood and put a layer of glass tape on it. Make sure you glue the rails directly to the glass, not the fairing compound. You may need to grind a little fairing compound away to get a good bond. I would get 2 gallons of primer. That would give you plenty for 2-3 coats, and you'll have a little left over. As for Sterling, a gallon goes a long way. I did 4 coats on my bottom and barely dented the can. A quart did exactly 3 coats on my sides (spray rail to gunnel). Do you plan on a skeg or any strakes? edit: Just saw the skeg :!:

(Belated) Welcome to the group, Waterman! Fellow Alabama builder here. I'm in Birmingham, but I get down to Orange Beach regularly. Looks like you're doing really well so far. We'll have to organize a South Alabama / West Florida meetup.
