Ok I purchased my great grandpas 65 span offshore its a long story my dad sold it when i was 5 and i rescued it off a highway in iowa the guy had a for sale sign on it was about to junk it because it had been there for 4 months but i purchased it it is indeed my families boat i have photographic proof and my fathers handwriting is still on the inside of the seats from when he rebuilt them...
But my question is the gelcoat i have been told is buffable but there are some chunks missing fiberglass is in good shape so my question to all of you is whats the best way to go about fixing that should i just paint over it??? if so what should i fill it in with also the teal color on top of the boat above the rub rail has some spider cracking appears to be paint to me is anyone familiar to this era of boats if im correct or not?
Heres a picture of the teal color that im talking about


P.S. sorry about the crappy pictures they came from my cell phone i will get better pictures on here asap
