Don't do it. Get yourself some M3 Finess it paste and a polishing machine and have at it, then wax it. If its too far gone, you can wet sand it starting with 800 grit and work your way down to 2000 grit before using the paste to polish it. If you are not to far off Sharps Chapel ( Union county ) I'll lend you the polishing machines.

It will really surprise you how much you can bring back color in most boats. Sometimes almost like brand new. Scuba1 is correct.

The color is still there, just in deeper. I had a Tiara years ago and had the hull redone as noted above. Incredible how nice it turned out and stayed. I would note this boat was in fresh water, I’m not sure if salt water would be tougher on the new finish.

Years ago I put a new dash In an early 80s Ranger for a guy at work. While I had it, I wet sanded and polished about a 3 foot section on one side to show the owner what it could look like if he wanted to put the effort in. Never did see the boat again so don't know if he ever finished it.
