[quote=coastrat]what's happening geep?...besides your new old boat. i would recommend not doing the gel coat work until after the season winds down. get her out as much this summer as you can, you might find more spots as you go. also look at your keels, they tend to wear through and get thin. you can build up a couple of layers of glass to strenghten if needed. my friends old boss at the marina he worked at had a strategy for old boats..."pud" 'em up and use it this year and fix what you have to(needs)...then address the cosmetic stuff in the offseason(wants). the boat will tell you what it needs now and for the p-16 it useually is soft spots, new standing rigging, rudder tuneing, some sail repairs, stuck dolphin striker rod, mast rake questions, etc.. look at the home page here, it's full of p-16's coming back into service, hell, it might be the worlds largest collection of prindle sailors...and of course, pbeagle(prindle pete) is the man. good luck![/quote]
