    Hooked hull repair?

    remember to trim up a bit when you are on plane also check height of engine on transom with that hook i would imagine trimming will yield different results then normal or what you might be used to with other boats

    Fletcher Bravo Arrowsport 150 restoration...

    i would use wood unless cost is no object and you are building this boat for future generations of family, truth is most folks might keep a boat 6 yrs after rebuilds. The boat lasted 30 or more with wood encapsulated.

    1981 Seaswirl 16' stringer repair

    i would not trust that bedding , bedding is usually a solid material making a even bed under the stringer , some place a piece of foam so the stringer stays off floor while they are bedding it in but i wouldn't trust what you did .

    What kind of paint will seal small cracks in the hull?

    check the keel maybe someone damaged it , also there is no paint that will seal a hole that's leaking water for any length of time , also check rub rail it could need re caulking on bottom of it
