Do you have a sentimantal connection to the boat? Have you done this before? If the answer is no to either or both of these questions sell it/ give it away and buy a good used boat ready to fish...

What the other guy said... Restorations are expensive and/or time consuming. But if you insist, don't re-gelcoat. Have it painted with a good quality paint (Awlgrip, Imron, Sikkens, etc). Holds up way better than gelcoat. And even more utilitarian would be a wrap.

If it was an aluminum boat I'd disagree
In this case, absolutely.
The money you'll sink into it to have a 25 yo 18' boston whaler just ain't worth it. IMHO
