Pipe_Dream - Do you have paint on your hull or gelcoat?

If it's the original gelcoat and chalked out . . . . try wet sanding it, then use a polishing compound, and add a few coats of wax to the hull. These three steps will almost definitely make your boat shine like new.

Paint doesn't usually get chaulky, but if someone painted the hull at one point . . . . you're in for a serious project.
