The last railer I re-did, I used the cheap bed lining from Duplepro( was about 28$ a gallon ) as an undercoating, and a marine epoxy finish on the rest. Worked realy nice...

Bet ya didn't know Kansas has the largest pleasure boat construction industry in teh continental states.........least according to the state govt we do....
know theres 5 large dealers here in Topeka, and we're not near the larger lakes...just within 50 miles of 7 of the mid-sized ones......
Ks isnt realy flat ya know.......just averages out that way....

You're right. I didn't know that. In California we have the ocean and a dozen or so mud holes that they call lakes. Guess that I need to get out more. haha
