I am getting ready to finally try and tackle the restoration of my '65 13' sport. It has extreme crazing throughout the hull and interior. I am not terribly concerned with keeping this original and will mostly be using it for fishing and pleasure runs on an inland lake. Would it be feasible to just sand and paint the entire boat, or is it necessary to gel coat the boat? I really don't have a lot of cash to invest in this and looking for low cost way to get this boat useable. Any help is greatly appreciated!
