Just looked up these products and it doesn't look to bad.
Maybe I will give them a call and see what they recommend in regards to products I need to purchase.
Im pretty sure I can find a cheaper polisher on Amazon but pads and polish may be good from them.

Cut/buff or colorsand/buff will do it wonders. Gel is not like a clear coat paint, it'll retain its luster with normal maintenance much better. Keeping the original colors will benefit it most I think. My 1994 commander had the exact colors as yours.

I would just light cut and buff. Then wax the chit out of it. You said you're only keeping it for a few years. It's not that bad. If you re gel the entire boat you'll never get that money back. But $500 in material and your sweat in labor will pay for its self.

I used boat candy on mine and it looks great! Get a good orbital buffer and pads. Makes it a lot easier.

My opinion is just that, an opinion. But being that I went through this 3 years ago I'll throw this out there. That boat is field stripped to basically a bathtub. If you're planning on repainting it then do it now. If you put it all together then I'm pretty sure the last thing you'll want to do is pull it all down again. Paint it white and put some vinyl on it for some color and put it together. Sitting on the beach sucks!!!!!!! Get that old girl on the water.
