Hi! We just bought a J24 and are restoring it as well! We have a few questions about the process and were wondering if we could connect to ask these questions. Our J24 is a ‘78! Please let me know :) thanks!!
Hi, did tout have to work on fixing gel coat cracks everywhere on the hull? Or the only problem you had was around the chain plates? Mine as superficials cracks pretty much every where. And 5 rotten balza soft spots. Did you just covered it all with gel coat and sanded it good bye?
BoatworksToday is a youtube channel that has good information on just that. as for what i did I had very few stress cracks so I fixed the worst ones and didnt even do anything for the little ones. I highly recommend you watching BoatworksToday on you tube.
