Thanks!

When I bought the boat ten years ago, it had a layer of clear coat, which had started to drop/loosen in places.
When I now bought it back, almost all the clear coat is gone.
The surface that is now feels almost like coarse sandpaper when you feel it. Starting with wax or something similar will not work, but I assume I have to wet sand it like you did.
In the worst case, I have to repaint it, but of course I want to avoid that, because it is better with gelcoat than paint.
I'll hear if he might have any tips on where to get the deck decal. otherwise I may try to make one in some way.
I think it's from 1978 or 79.
Champange sounds like a good description of the color!
In the picture you can see (at the top) when there is clear paint left and at the bottom as it looks otherwise.
