Try a search. This topic has been covered in super detail. Bottom line-Gel is a lot of work, but is far more durable than paint. If you have kids or stupid drunk friends that like to walk over your boat with sand on their feet, go with gel.

paint is great for trailer queens. gel is the way to go if you actually plan to use your boat. :messedup:
