I would think so. There’s always vinyl wrap.

Wet sand, compound, polish and seal.
Hire a pro for best results here.
Having the same color, I can tell you while beautiful when shiney it needs to be maintained religiously to keep it looking that way.
Where is the boat located and where are you located?

I'm in MD as well. It isnt going to be an inexpensive process. Take it off the price unless the price already seems to take it into account. There are probably some very good detailers in Tampa that can go look at and give you a quote.
Rags a member on here is in Tampa so he might be able to point you in the right direction.
If not there are some good detailers in and around Annapolis. Probably cheaper to get it done in FL though.

I do know a couple guys. There was an older English guy at the marina with the same boat and color. He was working on it himself one week and the side he had done looked great and the side he had not done looked just as bad if not worse. He said the marina told him $2500. He did also say that the color slips away real fast when he is gone back to England for a 3-4 month of summer. Rag’s

They seem to be asking top dollar for the boat I got them down alil before flying down to look at it. Once there it was alot worse in person. I'd like for them to just have it fixed but I'd also take more off an do it myself.

I would want to do it myself, they could just cover it with some crap petroleum based product that will wear off after a few months leaving you with the mess to do deal with.
Either hire a pro and do it yourself (assuming you can get them to cut another $2k off the price) or walk. There are better cared for boats out there esp if the seller is asking top dollar. Tell them it looks like hell and hasnt been cared for.

Without close ups I can’t say 100% it can come back. That said though, the process itself is not too difficult and is 100% rewarding. Just depends on the time and elbow grease your willing to put in. But wet sanding should bring her backyo a factory shine, then just stay on her with polish/wax every year, twice a year, and you’ll have a show stopper.

Painting it with Awlgrip might be another option.
