LAST NIGHT A S-10 HIT MY BOAT it put a hole in the deck across 7 diff. colors of perfectly faded but shiny gel coat and spider cracked the lower hull a ivory white the wing now has cracks in it and the wind sheild needs to be replaced both sides the boat is a 1990 the only thing i can say is i am glad it was not my daytona 30 anybody know of a repair shop that does exell. repairs on mult. color boats i do not want it to look patched i think it will have to be a all over job becouse of the fade my shop is in FL the boat is on a trailer 352-753-5267 ask for chris

sorry to hear of this Chris. do you have any pics of the damage? multi gel repairs are tough. sorry i dont personaly know of any one in your area but im sure someome will chime in. good luck


tell ya the truth i dont use actual gel coat when i have a multi color repair. i do the color with PPG's Omni single stage eurathane mixed to match. some old school guys might give me some flack about using a lower end product like Omni but i have found that it fades at about the same rate as gel coat and has about the same gloss retention. i dont use it for larger areas but i have had great luck with it. never had a come back.

thanks the hole does not keep me from using the boat so i can take my time in getting it repaired i would rather pull the eng and drive & change hulls or paint the hole boat than have a boat that shows a repaired area i did that once on a 357 formula hated to look at it

Hey Dave,

How is the 34 doing? Did you buy or trade for the 525 sc's? Ever order any Dana's for it? I have been buried with boats and have not had time to check on anything here or even take my boat out! Glad to hear someone in this buisness gets to enjoy their boat!!!
