    Been doing a little research on my newly acquired 74 Marlin 18'- I have found a decent variety of early 70's manufacturers whose hulls look exactly like my Marlin, such as Sidewinders, CobraJet, and others- Did these guys share the same molds, or what? Also- has anyone tried the gelcoat resto product called Vertglas, and if so, how did it turn out? My gel coat is the early 70's heavy metallic, and is faded beyond hope. Thanks in advance.

    I don't know anything about your hull but I can tell you that my gel was faded and chalky looking on my 19' Hallet and my dad and I wetsanded it and buffed it out and brought it back beautifully. It is white with candy apple red metal flake. We used 2000 sandpaper and a wetsanding block and tons of water and took off all the oxidation. Then we hit the boat with a high speed buffer and compound and polish from 3M. It looks like the day it left Hallet back in '77.

    No such thing as beyond hope, mine came back. No one wanted that much green, but it came back anyway
