    Default Hull repair


    Any recommendations for central or northern MS for getting a fiberglass hull repaired?

    A lot like the old Wannabe... except with fewer bad words. And Karate chop action. But, yes, still purtier than you.

    If it's small, do it yourself n save the bucks. I did it to mine after a run in with something at Grenada.

    Most auto parts stores carry a fiberglass repair kit, with instructions. You'll need a sanding disc to remove the finish from the outside and inside. Paint cleaner to remove any oil or other residue from the fiberglass. Rubber gloves to apply the epoxy. A fan to keep you alive while working with this stuff. Paint that will match your hull.

    If u are just looking for a hatchet job and don't care about looks, do it yourself. If looks are a concern and you want it done right, get in touch with C&O marine in White Bluff TN. I've been following several repair jobs they've done and it's top notch (and I'm sure top $). Past that, I've heard of a place called Basscat Annie's in Memphis that has been recommended in the past, but I've never seen their work nor known someone that used them. A closer option might be to call Performance Marine in Sardis and see who Tracie uses or recommends.

    You might check with some local body shops....if they do Corvette repairs then they know how to work with fiberglass.

    I don't think the new Vettes are glass anymore. Believe they are SMC.
