I just purchased my 1st whaler for $100. it is a 83 hull 17'. It has been painted over with what looks to be house paint. I have my work cut out for me with the restoration. I was wondering what you used to strip your hull and what type/name gel coat you used?

Allenpoteat, the price was right. The restoration is a labor of love but very enjoyable for me. I used Soy Strip for the bottom paint. It worked very well. The remaining paint I sanded off with 100 grit and a 6" pneumatic random orbital sander. For the gel I used Spectrum. Very expensive but they do have the original colors. With a little modification the color match was perfect. You can't tell it was re gelled even around the hull stencil #. I am pleased with the results. Good luck with your project!
