I'm having my E-380 awlgripped in March. Currently, the blue gelcoat is faded and probably too porous to hold a shine. Last May, I lightly compounded, polished and waxed. It looked good for 2 weeks, then became dull, especially the transome.
Cost estimates in the Annapolis range from 150-200/ft. This includes hull prep, primer, and 3 coats of awlgrip. Factor in travel lift, blocking, 2-3 weeks yard storage for another 500-700.
