    You will save 65 lb if you go all gel

    I was told the flake is no longer metal and the weight difference isn’t there anymore?

    I think you will find that an all gel boat will age better. There's a reason Darris Allison will never use flake in his boats...and it has more to do than just added weight!

    I was at Jordans Marine in Vidor TX yesterday. They were prepping this one that has been sold. I like the looks but it also has a generic look to it.

    The straight gel colors, especially darker colors, show swirl marks something fierce.
