Hull & Structural

Major fiberglass hull repair is what we cut our teeth on. Whether your boat took a hit at the dock, ran into something underwater, or got caught in a storm — we handle the full scope of structural fiberglass work. From hairline cracks that have been creeping for years to large-scale impact damage that needs a complete rebuild, we’ve seen it all and fixed it all.

The process depends on the damage, but here’s the general idea: we grind out the damaged area, assess the core underneath, replace any compromised core material (usually balsa or foam), and lay up new fiberglass. Multiple layers, proper cure times, and no shortcuts. When we’re done, that section of hull is as strong — often stronger — than it was when the boat left the factory.

We also handle collision damage repairs and work directly with insurance companies on boat accident claims. If you’ve got a damage estimate or need one, give us a call. We’ve been through the process hundreds of times and can help you navigate the paperwork.

One thing worth mentioning: don’t sit on hull damage. Even a small crack can let water into the core, and once that happens, you’re looking at a much bigger job down the road. A $300 repair today can save you a $3,000 repair next season.
