What i want to know...

Painting - the Entire hull/inside?

Teaking - What more then sanding and oiling?

Cleaning - Scrubbing won't get it out!

Wiring - Center console is a birds nest

Fiberglass repair - screw holes - marine tex, any thing else?

Any other comments appreciated!

Sure,... I use a 2-pt. Urethane paint...
Teaking - What more then sanding and oiling?
Ayuh,.. Just more of the same every couple of years
Cleaning - Scrubbing won't get it out!
Sanding,+ painting takes care of that...
Wiring - Center console is a birds nest
So rip it out,+ start over...
Fiberglass repair - screw holes - marine tex, any thing else?
Your choice of filling,+ fairing compounds, sand,+ paint...
Any other comments appreciated!
Before I went Too far, I'd do some exploring to see how badly it's Rotten...
It's nearly 25 Years old, I imagine there's Rotten wood in there...
