There is a place on Old Shell right across the street from UMS Wright. Then there is Grady Marine On HWY 90. But like I said I have no experience with either. I just know they do that sort thing. Just curious what exactly is minor fiberglass work?

There is also a larger chip, about an inch long and half inch deep, above the water line. Pretty anal about it....just bought the boat a couple of months ago.

Then wet sand it with increasingly fine grit paper then buff it. I've filled probably 50 nicks, dings and screw holes on my old Outrage. Otherwise, I'm like the guy from Daphne, no experience with any of the shops around the area. Ted Edited by olewarskule on 02/14/10 - 6:38 AM

They used to build boats but I bet the market has knocked that in the head. Meanwhile I know of two folks that use them often for service, etc. You might give them a call and ask.
