I'm new to this, Whaler and Boats alike. I recently acquired a 13' Sport which I am unsure of the year. I have many questions which I would appreciate any guidance:

- What year is hull# 13614?
- It has what I believe you call "crazing" over the entire hull and interior. No damage to the foam, but I can sse the fibers through some of the cracks. What is the best way to stabilize any further damage? Not necessarily a full refinish, but something fairly inexpensive where I can enjoy this boat on the water without fear that it will allow water intrusion into the foam?
- I want to refinish it at some point. I'm unsure whether to take it back original or if it would completely kill the value if I took it to another color. My Wife want's it Seafoam Green. What do you guys think?

Again any help is greatly appreciated!
