Nice work! The old Rangers are such great boats. I just restored a 354V and love it.

Cracks in gel coat always come back unless dealt with.
Citrus strip and a new angled putty blade with edges softened with 320 to lessen gouges will deal with adhesive glue , heat or sun can get it to that sweet spot where it becomes bubble gum .
Clear epoxy might be worth a test , 2 layers rolled on with cat paw or foam roller to form a base to paint on or get gloss while sealing the cracks .
Splashwell can be a good test area .
Foot panel ; use an old Alum Street sign , primed and coated with Herculiner bed liner you can roll on . Floors can be done with same product to tie it all together.
Vinyl wrap material has come a long ways , could have labels made with color and then use same material to cover the faded stuff .
I’ve also painted right over gel coat if prepped and de waxed and de greased .
2 part Interlux “Perfection “ is $100 / Qt. Kit , rolls on and is fuel proof . Scotchbrite between coats until it looks like it was sprayed , “roll and tip “.
