Both are pricey. Gel-coat has a learning curve (for me) and is a lot of elbow grease on already worn shoulders and elbows. Is there an appreciable longevity advantage to re-gelcoating the interior of a 17' Whaler vs. Awl Grip? The boat won't get alot of use but will be used as needed when needed for fishing, boat camping and general boating fun in mostly fresh water with a bit of ICW thrown in for good measure. Boat will be stored under roof and with a cover over it.

Thanks,
