I recently picked up a 19' Foot fiberglass MFG boat in rough condition with the hopes of refurbishing it. I am not a boat guy but pretty handy. I have a bunch of questions about how to start. While I have researched the topic, I havent really found what I am looking for. The hull is in okay condition but dull and stained. I have read several people saying that it is better to clean then paint it, others that you have to clean and re-gell coat it, one that said to clean, re gell coat and then paint it. I am hoping yall can point me in the right direction in terms of refurbishing the hull. Time is not too much of an issue but I am trying to keep it as low budget as possible. If you can be as specific as that would help me the most.
I am also wondering if the same process needs to be done to the inside of the hull, or if you only need to refurbish the outside. There is mildew on the inside and the wood I think needs to be all removed as it is bad condition. Is there a better wood to use on the inside for rec-rafting the floor?
Thanks a lot! I really appreciate it
