gchuba - If you plan to spray it, it's really not very hard. Its just time consuming, especially the work involved with mechanically surfacing (wet sanding, buffing, waxing). Also, if your boat is somewhat old the color match may not be perfect even if you purchase factor-matched gel coat - but it sounds like that isn't critical to you. I sprayed the central exterior transom of my Sport 15 this past fall - came out beautiful. I used a Preval sprayer which worked out great: http://www.whalercentral.com/userphot...lbum_id=64
