Hi All,

I've been reading for a while and think I'm ready to take the plunge. I found a 1967 13.6 with a solid, newer motor. The current owner started the restoration but it still has a long way to go. The hull is solid but the glass is rough. Lots of spiderweb cracks. It looks original to me and the boat was for work, not pleasure. The deck paint looks like it has plenty of mildew and other discoloration.

I've never repaired a fiberglass boat before. Is someone willing to point me toward a previous post that details a full restoration? Alternately, can someone walk me through the steps here? Many thanks!
