I just got a 1981 Nacra 5.2 for a screaming deal! The first issue I have to deal with is restoring the hulls.
No 1. : Structurally I THINK they are sound. When I press on the sides of the hulls there is a little bit of give, how much give should there be? Any advice on opening up the deck and reinforcing the hulls from the inside if neccesary?
No 2. : After being left out in the sun, they are badly oxidized and need to be refinished. I've seen some posts on re-gelcoating, and that's what I'm leaning towards. I've also seen discussion of rolling and tipping or brushing on finishes. Any opinions on this would help alot.
Thanks
