He brought it up to me and after inspection it had thin clear coat & metal flake, severe sun oxidation, cracks, chips, deep gouges, misdrilled holes, and sealant the previous owner applied as a temporary fix. A complete deck restoration was definitely called for and here we are today, check these results out guys! Attached Files Texas True Boatworks
