I did everything you mentioned and more on a 18SF and am now at the primer stage.
Over two thousand hours of labor, tens and tens of thousands of dollars by the time its finished, and more than four years since started. For me though the biggest cost has been the time spent that I could have been fishing or riding on a boat.
I’d probably never do a project on this scale again, but of course that may change after a few years of using this boat and forgetting everything above!
And if you screw something up, you can always redo it- it’s only fiberglass!
