What do you need?  Repair? Color match? etc.   Explain a little more.

Guess the question is...how can a member in NC pass judgment on businesses in my area?

Guess the answer is....referral-based trust.

While avoiding a potentially bad situation, I rubbed up against a barnacle covered piling and scratched the hell out of a 2 foot long section of my hull.   So it will entail color matching, filling, patching, or possibly an entire redo of the hull.

There will be a big update on the 26th.  Until then we all must wait.  One thing that has happened is I got the kid and a buddy of his on camera coming up to my house at 11pm on Dec23 sneak up to my front door and bang the hell out of it and then hop into his truck and take off.   Un freakin believable.

Ah, the saga continues!  Although this is a civil matter, with proceedings a bit different then in a criminal manner, the judge will certainly look at this evidence with disdain.  These boys aren't too bright...

Wes, a suggestion on the repair.  Dark gels are VERY hard to match, even if it was a brand new boat, as batches differ ever so slightly.  A good gel guy should re-spray an area quite a bit larger than the actual repair area.  Visually, it keeps the eye from focusing on one small area, and any mis-match will be spread out so as it's not so easily seen...

Good luck, call me when you want to chat...
