    Who does Gelcoat?

    I am looking for someone who does work on bass boats. I'm trying to restore a boat I just bought and I was hoping someone on here knew of a good place.
    Thanks

    Re: Who does Gelcoat?

    If you are talking about major rework, I'd forget hiring it done. There is really no good way to restore the gel on large areas of the boat. It would be cheaper to buy a different boat. Patching small dings can be done by a boat dealer, or they can recommend someplace.

    For the big areas, there are two choices: Wet sand the area with 1200 grit paper, then wax it and see if it improves enough to suit you. If that won't get it, you paint the area with clearcoat and get pretty good results, but it may have to be redone periodically.

    Re: Who does Gelcoat?

    There are only about 6 little places that need to be sanded and fixed. Very minor work. I want the whole boat repainted, it doesn't have to be gelcoat just something to make it look nicer. The paint on it is an ugly color plus if I repaint the touch ups, it will look alot worse. Thanks for the help though.

    American Boat and Yacht in Jeffersonville Indiana does excellent work. They can take a 30 year old boat and have it in showroom condition. Give them a call @ 812-283-5962 and talk to Guy Voyles
