whats this gonna cost me
 

mon while tied to the dock there was an exposed bolt the scratched the **** out of my boat.what do you guys think its gonna cost to repair and who should i get to do it.when i saw this i was so pissed :pissed: i was sick.

Olmstede Shipyard
 

I'd bring it to Max at Olmstede shipyard. This man can do some fantastic fiberglass work. I'd say somewhere in the neighborhood of $500

You insured well?? Go sink that ***** and get a new one!!!

I know it sucks,but for a good fiberglass shop that is not a big deal at all.

I'm on phone......is that a big scratch or a hole in the middle?

Scratch

Ouch

Throw a couple salty cajun stickers over it and you are golden!

Now THAT is a swift kick in the stomach.........

It happened to me too.....this year doing that poker run longside was posting about......big nail sticking out of dock and there were 2 to 4 boats tied to mine at any time.......tide was coming in, so rub rail came over the dock and had 3 boats plus mine pushing my boat into that nail.......

If u haveca dock y would u have metal bolts not covered or nails hanging out. Boats are not cheap. If I would have known there was a uncovered bolt I would have tied off in another slip.

I'm with you.....you talk to the owner??

Police jury. Gonna talk to my wifes dad in the am.

bet i know what they will say ;)


btw, that does suck. you could just gelcoat over it and sand it smooth but it may be tough to match color/exact texture.

bumpers save fiberglass

The price will depend on several factors. Depth of scratches, overall area of scratches and how much blend room there is in the area. It's an easy fix from what I can see though. It may be a little costly though.

PM me if there's any ?'s you have on it.

Repair
 

Had some fiberglass work done about a year or two ago in Lafayette, my gelcoat damage looked more extensive and deeper than yours. Involved two different type of glitter colors as well as white. Cost $1500.00 which was covered by insurance minus my deductable. As Southern said there are many variables here. A good fiberglass man will make it right and you won't even notice where previous damage was done.

You gotta love some of the advise you get here:rolleyes::*****:

I'd be sick too!!!!!!!! More like pissed:pissed:

@#$^ happens, if you fish it's gonna happen......A good Fiberglass/gelcoat man & you'll never have known it was there. Just sucks that you have to come out of pocket for it.:(
