I'm a new poster long time reader

I have been restoring a 1969 Venture 21 and have been thoroughly educated in the art of restoration. What a learning process.The topsides are all painted. The bottom is next including the swing keel. I could use suggestion on refinishing the keel. My biggest challenge right now is replacing the entryway fiberglass cover which is weak and cracked in many places. I have considered marine plywood but $90 a sheet when I only need 1/3 of a sheet is a bit much. Glad to join everybody!:

Hey Mike and welcome. When you get your 10 posts in (try the song thread or an ignore thread) post some pix of what you are trying to do and we may have better suggestions.
