I have a 1980 Force 5 sailboat which is about 14' long and sort of similar to a Laser. The surface on the bottom was in such rough shape when I bought it and so ugly that painting it with the Rustoleum fiberglass primer and a finish coat of bright blue glossy Rustoleum made a huge improvement. After years of neglect, the gel-coat got so beat up that the boat could either get discarded at the town transfer station or revived with Bondo, primer & paint. The Rustoleum boat paint goes on with a 4" roller and 2" angle brush and is definitely not as good as Awlgrip or Pettit done with a spray gun, but is probably much more doable for a do-it-yourselfer. The boat cost me $300 on craigslist about four years ago.
