New guy here, would appreciate any guidance. I just bought a 1 owner (well now 2) 1966 Boston Whaler Eastport, or at least that's as near as I can tell. Needs work. Seats, cushions, fiberglass repair, gel coat. Actually a pretty minimal amount of work for as old as she is. 90HP 2 stroke Johnson fires right up, and the old metal gas cans under the helm (2, 12 gallon tanks) are pretty cool looking. Would love a little guidance with the varnish, fiberglass and gel coat work. Anyone have any specific products they recommend? This is a great looking old boat and I'm excited to spruce her up a little. Stencil on the transom reads 35264. Thanks guys!
