Don,

Thanks for the comments. There are ALOT of "spider" cracks all over the boat, but nothing looks deep or structural. Like you said, my sense is that the gel coat was not as good as what we have today.

I feel pretty obligated to grind out the 80 miles of spider cracks down to the glass with a narrow abrasive wheel and fill it with West System 2 part with filler. Do you think that will take care of it or will they come back through the new paint when I start beating the crap out of it?

Any comments on repairing spider cracks will be appreciated.
