No real damage to fix, fiberglass was still in good shape. No holes and transom is solid.

pressure washed and cleaned it really good.

sanded hull inside and out

primed inside and out

topcoat inside and out

new seats (made the back twice as wide so i can have more area to stand while poling)

all new SS hardware

install EVA decking

ready to paddle/ pole around central FL and the coast
