not a big deal for a race boat..most race boats are hammered on when comparing to a pleasure boat.
"salt stains on upholstery"...lol....where do you think a racer is going to take a piss on a delayed start while still milling!

Most race boats do not have water absorbtion problems because they are not left in the water, plus they are normally built to a higher standard than a pleasure boat. All hatches leak no big deal. Canopy glass is $5k and up. Peeling paint, put a sticker over it. Upholstery, Just add fuzzy dice
Dont worry about the looks, worry about the fuel tanks, drives and engines. Everything only slows you down!

Is the windshield cracked?
Paint? No Problem....
Salt stains? Maybe just lack of cleaning.
I think I seen a picture of a Canopied 35 Fountain in a old issue F-?? I'll scan the picture tonight when I get home and post it, it may very well be the same boat.

$5k for lexan, ouch.. Has anyone tried sanding/polishing them out. Even taking them to a pro would be cheaper than $5k Id imagine..

If it's scuffed and yellowed it can be saved, unless it’s really; really bad. I spoke with a Air Force Mechanic from Selfridge Air National Guard Base right next to were I keep the boat and he hooked me up with a compound and polish for my F16 canopy, I have not tried it yet but he said it’s Uncle Sam’s best and should do the trick!
