Need FG/Gel repair ASAP

[28Eliminator]

I somehow managed to locate a tree stump, rock, buried treasure or some focking thing down across from the pump station a few weeks ago. Jesse (Adrenalin detail) has been trying to get it taken care of for me, but NOBODY has time, or is too backed up to fix it.

Any suggestions on who (in Havasu) can repair this? Don't bother mentioning Saleen, he's busy till June . I know there's other guys out there that can repair this (and yes, i want it done correctly), just don't know who...

Any help would be appreciated!

just bottom, so maybe Rusty at Ultra

However check you bunk board bolts and nuts, pic looks like a few need attention

My buddy is getting his gel fixed at Domn8er right now. Maybe try them too.

I see some high dollar DCB's at Kornowskis off London Bridge Road by the Refuge quite often.

Haven't had this done before but obviously it will need to be straight without a hook in it, and not just look good.

 

[Done-it-again]

Havasu is going to be busy. What about Hamner's guy?

All the glass guys I talked to in Havasu are backed up 3 months right now. Thinking about towing it back home to get ours done. I'll be watching this thread to see if you find someone with a faster timeline.

i know for my repair, Ultra hired the guys from GT Performance to come out to Havasu and do the work.

Kevin at KMG might be an option, but you will pay $$ to get this fixed before DS

Saleen did some minor work for me last month, but I had to book them in November.

I'll give Ultra a call, and try Gary. he's done work on the boat before for me.

I cant remember who Mikey's guy was... I remember a thread about it!

I don't fall into that category

I'm semi scheduled with him but completion date is unknown. Could be 2 to 3 months of the boat sitting outside. If mines not that bad, he said he'll try to squeeze it in between a larger job. I could tow it to KMG and have it in the books in 3 weeks but thats a 5 hour tow each way.

Thank you for mentioning KMG. I've got mine scheduled.

Kevin does great work. He has done repairs for me in the past and coordinated with the guys at WOT Marine as well. He would of gotten my boat for my recent repairs, but Ultra warrantied the transom cap, so they got all the work.

 

[pkrrvr619]

Kmg all day. If he can get you in he turns them around quickly as well.

 

[Ziggy]

Geezus Dave you told me about this incident but didn't know the severity of the bottom damage. You mentioned the skeg damage and that the prop was ok.
My boat is at Iguana's getting the keels rhino'd right now. Not certain if they do bottom work but it might be a possibility since they do repair some keels before their rhino job.

Fiberglass and Gel Repair- Take a look !!!

A good friend of mine decided to start doing some gel repairs on his boats.. As it turns out a few other friends of ours wanted some work done too. He has decided to take on customers one boat at a time. No derigging, he doesn’t have the time. He’s a member here but doesn’t spend very much...

We could do it if you wanted to bring it to San Diego.

 

[BUDMAN]

I have a grinder, I can can smooth that right out for you, then we can apply some FlexSeal easy job

 

[DWC]

SOB and ouch. Hope one of the shops is able to squeeze the job in.

That’s a great referral but I’m committed to KMG. Hopefully Kevin doesn’t convince my wife we need to trade the mach22 in for one of his amazing boats. I think I’ll leave her in the truck.

I have never heard of him before.. Glad to hear such high praises!! We could always use another gel guy.

He’s one of the guys that just quoted me for my boat. He works out of his friends garage I believe.

Well, this where I landed. He’s the only one that could give me a solid date, sounds like a good guy. Says he can have it complete by April 2nd.

I’ll let everyone know how it goes!

Thanks for all the help guys!!

Hes working on this right now.

 

[28Eliminator]

Thought I would update this.

Steve Panter (the guy mentioned above) did the work, and I was very pleased. he didn't make the date he gave me of April 2nd, but did have it complete by the following Thursday. Works out of his house, but has a huge place with about 6 garages. Lots of room. had a few other boats there. He told me he would not work on anything bigger than about 28' anymore.

He did a nice job on the fix, and took a lot of precautions to keep the boat clean. A huge change from the last time I had work done on it (from a rather large and well known boat manufacturer down the road). Here is a few pics.

Was he seriously backed up? I'd like to get my bottom redone.

 

[USMC2010]

Had I kept my boat, Steve would have been who I had scheduled with for some cleanup. I've seen his work.

He didn’t say. I would give him a call.

 

[Ace in the Hole]

He didn’t say. I would give him a call.

I called a bunch of people based on recommendations.. I wound up booked into Saleen after Memorial Day.. Going to bite my tongue about the manufacturer..but I'm less than impressed about them right now. Ill do a repair thread once my boat is back in my hands. Pedro really went above and beyond...my boat isn't even fixed yet and the fact that he was willing to meet with a friend of mine to bid/check my boat in the garage while I am 1200+mi away as well as work around the limited time we actually get to use our boat in all of this craziness said something.

He may be backed up..but Saleen gives off the "I give a shit vibe" and that is a big deal to me.
