Any recommendations for central or northern MS for getting a fiberglass hull repaired?
How big of a job?
If it's small, do it yourself n save the bucks. I did it to mine after a run in with something at Grenada.
Not big at all maybe 1/4 wide and3" longQuote:

About a 3 day job.
Patched Donnie's at Washington and he was fishing the next morning.
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 had a small spot repaired on mine at APS fiberglass in Memphis, TN...........this is who tracy at performance marine recommended and who does all of their work..Here is the website,hope this helps.
APS FIBERGLASS
I don't think the new Vettes are glass anymore. Believe they are SMC.Quote:
