Grady White 255

It’s jobs like these where the backyard fiberglass guys would throw some filler in it and brush it with bottom paint just to make a quick$$. We are big on quality here. Our repairs at the minimum will put your boat back to factory. No cutting corners! Unless we are building those corners back up (dad joke)

Fractured fiberglass removed. Fiberglass layers built back up and sanded to shape. Gelcoat layer built back up and shaped. Barrier coat and bottom paint applied. For the final touch dabbed with a brush to replicate the original bottom paint. Couple days in the water and it should dull to match the rest

Jupiter 43 Menace

The busted paint, fiberglass and gelcoat was removed. The fiberglass and gelcoat layers were rebuilt. The boat was primed, blocked and painted.

Seahunt

Yamaha

Fiberglass and gelcoat repair.

06 Pursuit

Before and after on this 06 pursuit. Fiberglass fractures down to the last layer from impact to the bow rail stanchion. Rebuilt the fiberglass and gelcoat layers and finally sprayed and blended. She came out nicely!

Gelcoat Blends

Sea Ray

Swim platform repair.

Mastercraft

Reapplied gelcoat and hand-shaped to perfection!

2019 Formula

Gelcoat and fiberglass damaged below the waterline. Might not be a big deal now but when glass is left exposed to water it will start to break down and create a much bigger problem.

03 Skiff

This is a 03 skiff. Repairing a few gelcoat chips. Now it might seem small but these repairs save her from bigger problems down the road. Gelcoat is your boats protective layer. Fiberglass is not water proof. Overtime the water will break down the fiberglass layers. The more it is exposed the faster it will be.

Hunter

Little rubbing action with another boat created quite a few scratches and chips.

2016 Yamaha

Before and after repainting the transom of this sailboat. She came out pretty slick

Sea Ray

Don’t let that crack fool you. Be more concerned about why it was caused in the first place and It’s usually more than what’s on the surface. Before and after on this Sea Ray.

Robalo

Before and after gel coat and glass repair on this Robalo.

Sea Doo

Before and after shots on this Sea Doo. Rebuild layers of glass after removing fractures, grind to shape, prime, paint and blend.

Bootstripe

To be completely honest we were feeling a little sea sick from all the waves on this bootstripe. Before and afters of the repairs. Between all the waves and paint flaking off from poor quality preparation.. it was decided to completely start from scratch. (WE DID NOT DO THE BOTTOM PAINT OR TAPE THE BOTTOM PAINT LINE.)

What we did was remove every bit of the original bootstripe down to Gelcoat.

( keeping the depth of the hard lines shallow for a smoother finish)

Recreate top line to perfection ( we don’t accept that wave nonsense as a finish)

Prime and sand

Recreate lower white stripe lines and paint ( oyster white)

Recreate upper bootstripe lines for the new super jet black.

We hope you guys enjoy
