The $20 Harbor freight 10" buffer didn't hurt when it came to rubbing and polishing compound time either. Bob Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic.

When I first saw the pix I was going to ask how you painted it... the restoration of the gel coat looks amazing. Great job. Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic.

Bob, you’re right about that. I burned up one already in the fall of 2012 after 4 years of owning one; HF sends me coupons in the mail all the time, so I went back and got me another one. These are super deals.

Thank you sir. I’ve learned a lot by restoring this gelcoat, since this is the worst finish gelcoat that I had to redo. It takes a lot of patience. There are not many of these rare birds around and pictures for that matter; I’m just happy to share these with the glassic community. We just wish any documents on this Reinell model would show up one day telling us a little bit more about these cool old boats.

How’s that sweet Dorsett coming along?

If you still looking for step-n-trim tabs I'd love to barter for a windshield gathering dust in your collection. Attachments: Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic.

Hey Stephen. Your Dorsett is looking tight. I love the mono color on your Belmont. Sweet old boat. The previous owner of your boat lived in my neighborhood. Being a current Dorsett owner, '60 Catalina, and had a '58 El Dorado for years, I really enjoy seeing these vintage Dorsett boats on the water.

Yeah, send me a private message through this board. I'm sure we can work something out. Talk to you soon.
