I purchased this boat last year, the P/O said there was a repair done by the owner before him. the edges of the repair can be seen above the front wheel. It appears as though there was a simple stress crack in the gelcoat. The crack does not go through to the inside, there is no evidence of damage/repair through to the inside and it does not leak.

All of the flake matches, so I don't think there was anything significant repaired other than them re-spraying clear gel over the effected area in order to try to asthetically hide it. The problem is, the gel they sprayed has turned cloudy. Also they did a poor job feathering it in.

My question is, can I just wet sand down the effected area and buff? Or is the hazyness likely a result of an improperly mixed gelcoat and the hazyness is there to stay? This is purely cosmetic, but it does drive me nuts.....boat .jpg
