    I just purchased my dream boat. She is in great shape for her age and has been repowered with a 350/ 350 crusader. Now if I can get her to look a little healthier. I would rate the hull a good and the deck a good, but there is some obvious repairs done to parts of the deck and the hull has some chipping and cracking in the gel coat. So myquestion..... Is a new fiberglas deck expensive to have done? what is involved? what cost could i be looking at? And what can be done to make the exterior hull new again? I really want this boat to look exceptional but am weary of the cost. Does anyone have a recommendation for a fiberglass guy in NJ or tri state that could do reputable work?

    Also, why is it I cannot find any info on Chris Craft Dory? I heard they were very popular in thier day, but seem to be difficult to locate.... especially information on them. Any help is greatly appreciated.
