The flapper part looks like you could save it with some Naval Jelly too. I like to scrub it in real hard using an old toothbrush. I've even wetsanded with it using 600 grit wet and dry paper. (Gonna take a few coats though). Then oil it up

One thing a lot of people don't know is you can use POR-15 instead of fiberglass resin. Two or three layers of fiberglass and you'll be able to beat on it with a hammer.
