First PETG benchy is not the best. Any tips?

The benchy's hull looks pretty rough, theres a big gash you can see on the starboard side (possibly an adhesion/cohesion issue?)

Theres also some ugliness with any bridging, and generally some bits of filament stuck in places they maybe shouldnt be.

The benchy's deck, roof, and smokestack all look good.

Any tips?

I should mention this is on a V-minion and I'm getting ready to reprint most of the printed parts of the printer in this white PETG, so I really need it to be printing better than this.

in a shocking turn of events, all these issues are resolved (except the benchy hull line) by slowing the printer to a more reasonable speed
