Just my opinion, I think intermix 2000 is a better water barrier than gel coat. 2000 had overlapping micro plates that prevent water intrusion.
Also my opinion, if a boat doesn't have significant blister issues, barrier coating is probably not warranted. I had Touché barrier coated a few years ago. The yard botched it. I had it recoated last year by a guy that knew what he was doing. Much better job. He sprayed it on. Dennis C.
