California Performance boat repair???
« on: July 03, 2010, 01:37:18 PM »
I have a question on what type and brand of fiberglass and epoxy materials including gel coat should I use to repair my California Performance boat. It’s a 1983 medium light hull with small stringers 19’. The seam is separated aprox 8’ and I have a 6” X 6” delaminated piece of fiberglass on the side below the rub rail. I also have several nicks and dings on the bottom I want to address. There’s a good size section on the bottom from parking on the beach that the entire gel coat is gone and is getting to the fiberglass.
I have seen a lot of how to stuff on repairing fiberglass and gel coat. I’m looking for what fillers, epoxy, glass and gel coat should be best for a CP hull. Where would be the best place to get materials and a new rub rail?
Any help would be great
Thanks,
Shawn

Using resin and sheets of fiberglass is the starting point. Unless you know how to paint and use gel, I would leave that to a professional, if you want a near perfect finish. I thought about repairing a few little holes that I have, but wouldn't paint or gel coat it myself. Fiberglassing is easy business for a first timer, such as myself. I just fiberglassed my bulkhead and it came out fine. Now the front of my top hull doesn't shake anymore.  ;D
