: Unless NDK has made a huge change in the way they build boats, the
: gelcoat is seriously thick.

Unfortunately, it's like everything else on their boats, it's inconsistent. I could be 1/4" thick in some places on a deck and paper thin in others. On hulls, I've seen it 1/2" thick along keels and almost "see-thru" in other spots.
