Hi everyone, after a long hiatus i am going to try to buy a new boat , does anyone have any experience with the new awlgripped boards? Sand them? Any comments on prep work.

And if any can comment on how even the rake is on 2012 boats that is what i am buying.

I hear it is very consistent but curious......

Thanks!
 
Rakes of new boats are from 282 - 283. They are pretty consistent in that range from what I have measured. I have both the older (GRP?) and the newer (all-white) blades and I do notice a different sheen on the newer ones. Haven't heard of anyone sanding them or prepping them yet.
 
I am the new owner of 204211!

Rake is 151" i measure with the lower only in, from the top of the lower to the sheer of the stern.

This is definitely further forward than my old boat which was 150

Boat came with painted boards. Look pretty good some orange peel but not too bad.
