[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 407272, member: 13599"] Perch said: [b]I don't want to make a career out of refinishing the hull - but -[/b] LOL yeah, "but" if you start addressing structural issues, it will be like Whack a Mole. something else will pop up. and you will spend more time doing cosmetic work than having fun on the water. and yes, those wrinkles "can" be smoothed out to where they are not quite as noticeable. A bare shiny hull will show up imperfections far more than a painted surface. Plus, you can use body fillers such as Bondo under the paint for a very slick and smooth surface. Paint provides some form of protection from the corrosion factors - but - can also trap corrosion in the seams, rivets, and such. So it is a judgement call within your skillset as to what you will be using the boat for - - - fishing, hunting or family fun ? Pros and Cons on each end. your boat - your call. This is my 1959 Crestliner. It has been very well taken care of in its lifetime. but, there are many holes, dings and divots that have been fixed with body fillers, epoxy, etc. and covered with paint. Using the "500-30" rule, it looks awesome!! [ATTACH type="full" alt="Crestliner - no numbers.jpg"]82561._xfImport[/ATTACH] what is the 500-30 rule you ask ??? LOL at 500 feet away and 30mph, it looks great !! . [/QUOTE]
