I have just picked up a used 420 racing bote. It's a 2004, great shape...or so I thought. When I got it home last night, I started doing my magic of turning it into a brand new boat again. As I got rid of the oxidation on the deck, I noticed 2 different colors. when I tapped on different areas, very different sounds compared to the side. pics will show you the discoloration. The boat is in my garage, so I climbed in under the deck and took a picture from below. Based on the form of the variance, and the obvious of what you see, Houston, I think we might have problem. But how much of a problem,? Would be greatly interested in your thoughts.

Thanks

looks like you removed most of the gelcote, one option would be to re gelcote most likely it was always thin because well its a race boat:)

No, just got the boat yesterday. Didn't remove any gel. Take a look at the rest of the pics, there are 9. I should probably get rid of the top side ones. It will make more sense.
