Yesterday my son and his friend scored 2 1998 hulls. They are pictured here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/zLVJ5giWeFJZg44B6
They are going to work together to fix the hulls up and try to make them look like new.

- Embedded in the top decks are what appear to be raised bumps, like years of cedar pollen. Is it ok to wet sand the deck with 600 grit paper to knock it flat? I tested that in a small corner and it worked like a charm. I was thinking of going up to 1500 grid to get rid of any scratch marks. Washing and rubbing compound didn't work.
- For the small gouges in the deck and bottom, I was thinking of using white marine tex. Pre-sand the areas with 120 first, right? Or would it be better to learn how to use gel coat and repair the gouges with that?
- For the holes, I plan on following Signal Charlie and Skipper's blog to fix those with blind repairs. Then fill with marine tex.
- For the areas where there used to be stickers on the stripes, what is the best way to remove the peeling stickers.?
