Default Question about Gelcoat

I see planes that are "refinished" in polyurethane. Is this different
from GelCoat? I have looked at ships whose gelcoat is horrible and
understand that it can cost in excess of 20K dollars to refinish
properly. Is PU more durable than Gelcoat? Is one better than the
other? The glass vs aluminum thing has me leaning toward aluminum big
time. I don't ever expect to be competing seriously in cross country
competition so a bird for local fun might be adequate.


A LET 33 Solo might suit you just fine.
