Are the dark areas what non-skid looks like after being worn through to the glass...


Waiting for seller response - have to invest in a ferry ride to view boat - anyone want to guess?

Could be... or maybe needs some mold and mildew spray

Time plus UV exposure... Deck and cabin areas show it first, then the hull. There are a ton of boats built in the 70's and into the 80's that are in need of new paint.

It would not be a deal breaker for me .It would help lower the price perhaps . We are planning on using Kiwi Grip to amend the same condition on our boat .

" lower the price perhaps"
Was asking 10, lowered to 7 yesterday. Said I'd give him 5 but am thinking I too generous. Only reason I'm interested at all in that particular one is that unlike many others of it's vintage this one has had the keel shoe added - https://sailboatdata.com/sailboat/san-juan-77 - by the original owner who was asking 11 last year sold it to some guy from 'yurp for like 8.2 who was going to take it to Alaska but backed out after he discovered he wasn't up to the task (or maybe it were the boat?!) and then sold it in a hurry for 2 and change to the guy now trying to flip it for a tidy profit.
"Kiwi Grip "
I'm gonna' try this stuff....
...apparently the medium grit gives the best result.

the dark areas ar where the final coat of resin has worn away-not strutural. When in the mold fiberglassss is VERY transucelnt, so a first coat is always done with a dark color gel coat. Often that gray, or red. THEN the final coats of resin are applied, This allows the crew o see any missed spots
I'd just plan on painting

Yeah, but think of the history in that boat, if it is who I think owns it???

That's very interesting, Ron. Here it is- Mailport: 30 Amp vs. 50 Amp Shorepower - Practical Sailor -pictured in PS by an article posted by James McGinnis of Annapolis, MD.
That pic originally linked to a letter original owner posted to some on line site requesting they do a review the SJ 7.7.
What do you know and when did you know it?
