Welcome aboard.

I would suggest a wedge to chip the golfball from the cockpit to the foredeck. Then its an easy putt into the cowl vent.

Just kidding. Boat looks like it had some care and attention. We've seen MUCH worse around here.

I'm sure the carpet was put down to cover a variety of evils. Just going to have to be scraped off and see what you've got. The carpet people use a heavy scraper that looks like a flat shovel or edging tool. I doubt the original nonskid is going to be worth trying to save.

Then you have to decide whether the deck needs a recore.

Then comes grinding and painting. The carpet glue might cause some problems.

But, we're getting ahead of the game.

The cracks on deck around the rudder post are fairly typical.
