Fiberglass Hull Crack Repair
Cracks in your hull aren't just cosmetic — left untreated, they let water into the laminate and cause serious structural damage over time. Our techs assess the depth and extent of every crack before grinding, filling, and fairing the repair to match your hull profile.
Common Signs You Need Service
Catching hull and gelcoat problems early almost always means a smaller repair and a lower bill — in Florida's saltwater environment, minor issues can escalate quickly if ignored.
Visible Cracks or Chips:
Any crack longer than an inch or a chip that exposes bare laminate needs professional attention. Water intrusion can begin within days, leading to delamination and soft spots.
Soft or Spongy Deck Areas:
If the deck flexes underfoot in spots where it didn't before, moisture has likely reached the core material. This is a structural concern that goes beyond a simple cosmetic fix.
Hull Blisters or Bubbles:
Small raised bumps below the waterline are a sign of osmotic blistering. Ignoring them allows the blisters to grow and the laminate to weaken, making the eventual repair far more involved.
Fading or Chalky Gelcoat:
A chalky, oxidized surface means UV degradation is actively breaking down the gelcoat layer. Once it becomes thin enough, it loses its waterproofing ability and cracks more easily.
