In search of an M15
by William Coleman 12 Mar '18

12 Mar '18

Hello all, I've been a member of the list for over a year now, reading and learning all I can about these special boats. I'm ready to take the plunge for a used M15 (M17 exceeds my tow capacity) if only one were available a bit closer to Philadelphia and thought I'd try reaching out to the list before giving up and settling for any of the decent but less desirable vessels more readily available in my region. Please get in touch directly if you know of any that might be for sale to an eager young chap with cash in hand! Thanks, Will

Re: M_Boats: Gelcoat

Tom, I did not use any primer on my M17. The 2000 adhered fine. Of course you need a very clean hull surface. I did multiple coats for the correct thickness (how many, I do not recall)....... Good luck, wear your respirator!

Gelcoat
by Thomas Buzzi 11 Mar '18

11 Mar '18

While pressure washing the old bottom paint off my M17 I managed to dislodge hundreds of pencil eraser sized bits of the yellow gelcoat just above the boot top.All of the spots are round, like bubbles formed under the gelcoat were popped by the water jet. It almost seemed that there was some water migration along that line between the white boottop and the yellow hull. What is the best way to handle all the missing yellow gelcoat? The coat underneath is white and doesn't look like just a resin layer or fiberglas cloth weave. Anybody know what this second coat of material might be composed of? And how best to fill in all those holes? Would just making up some yellow gelcoat and troweling it into the holes work? I am not too worried about cosmetics at this point.I would just wet sand the patches and maybe coat everything with the "Glass" coating I used two years ago which has held up very well. I will be keeping the boat in a fresh water lake this year here in central Texas. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Hi Tom, Yep, you need bottom paint to go over the Interprotect 2000. I used Micron CSC.

These reservoirs are near my home and one is in the valley (no mountain passes to negotiate). Has anyone sailed on either body?

Hi Tom, I had the same issue as you with my 1976 yellow M17. The problem was in no way severe, but, I wanted to address it. This was quite a while ago, but I believe I lightly sanded to open the small blisters, cleaned well and dried, then used a 3M fiberglass marine repair epoxy paste to fill. After which I followed with barrier coats of Interprotect 2000. No issue since (this was almost 20 years ago). The tiny blisters were right at the waterline.
