After seeing this I'm going to check my roller right now....

Man that sucks! I remember the first scratch I put in my brand new sunsation. Even worse they are most likely gonna spot your gelcoat so you will always have a sign of repair. If at all possible have them fix the spot and base it and clear the whole side. That way it will never come back...

Thanks Uncle Calvin for doing an awesome job on the Cig today......I really appreciate big shooter!!!:kiss:

What does "spot" my gelcoat mean? What is better than "spotting" ?

No problem high roller.......

spotting is where they will fix the area and spray gel then blend it out then rub back the blend so its not visible. After a while and the more you polish/rub the boat the blend will pull back. Sometimes the gel they use will discolor and there will be an area that is off color. You have a very nice boat so do some research before you have any work done. Fyi if it was mine I'd do base/clear so I never have to worry about it coming back. BTW I do this for a living if it matters...

How much more $$ to shoot the clear?

+1 Bert Jay is right my last boat I had some gel done and you could see the colors not matching as time went on, it won't be too cheap to fix but save your money up and fix it right and you will never see it again.

Take your time and speak to people near you that are great for this repair get their take on it! Ask what method they use or would do?

Bert

a good boat repair shop could repair that without a halo,get a hold of Glassdave (member on board)and talk to him

repair it and if it ever comes back you have the option to clear it then..

and J is correct if not done right you will be able to spot the repair,no one else might be able but you will be and thats what counts..

There's no way I could give you an estimate without seeing it. I did light scratches on a 32 Sunsation last year. One side $550.00 plus materials. Ask around and find the best guy in your area.
