Newbie with restoration questions.


 

Hello,
I finally pulled the fish from the basement, where it
sat for the last 5 years. While washing it, I decided
to sand off the paint that had been put on by the
previous owner. What I found underneath can be seen
in the pictures.

The first picture shows where there is about a 1 inch
square patch of exposed mat near the bow. The second
shows circular spider cracks found on the hull
underneath the cockpit.

I plan on grinding away these areas, re-laminating if
necessary and then filling over with some and fairing
compound. Am I opening up a can of worms? Is this
going to be more work than its worth? After I finish
should I paint the hull? What type of paint should I
use?
Thanks in advance,
Greg
