hey,
i think i know the boat you are referring to. if it's the one
with crazing covering nearly every square inch, then i advise
caution. if the gelcoat crazing is deep enough so you can see the
fiberglass of if your fingernail can feel a groove, then you are
looking at one serious project to make it right. assuming the hull
is ok, i.e. no water intrusion/delam, then you will have to fair all
crazing, apply multiple coats of filling primer, probably re-fair
what's left, then apply 2 coats of paint. yikes! all doable to be
sure, just make sure you know what you are getting into. also, make
sure to make the offer L-O-W. if it's the boat i think, at least
it's been on the hard for a couple years, so it should be dry. i
have since made myself a 'no paint' pledge, and i'm glad i've stuck
to it in my boat search. but that's just me.
best of luck,
rw

Thanks everyone. I think that I will continue my search. I talked
with a marine technician that has seen this crazing and as you all
have said, it would be alot of work to bring this hull back. He
worried that after all my painting, the crazing could come back if
the gelcoat cracks go all the way down to the fiberglass. Thanks
again everybody.
