That's an old Formex built Tuffy, probably an early 70's model. The only type of resurfacing that you can do that will last is two part epoxy type paint like that used on fiberglass body cars. Prep can be REALLY tough and involved to get a good bond. Wet sand the entire hull, make sure all wax and other contaminants are gone, and use paint designed for fiberglass.

I'd get a tin of polishing compound and a drill bit buffer, and buff her up. be careful not to over buff, it'll 'burn' the gel surface.
