[C320-list] Surviving hurricane Irma

[John Meyers]

Tim,

Hmmm... I used the same gel coat on both my hull side to repair some deep
scratches, and in the cockpit were I had some screw holes left by removing
some snaps and even when I moved the lock to the propane locker. Every
place I used it it was a perfect match on both deck and hull. I haven't
used it on the deck other than the cockpit. Maybe I don't have a
discriminating eye for color, but I am very happy with the results.

John
