I've got some holes left in my MC from some old bimini hardware.
Curious if anyone here has had something like this repaired.
A guy here in Phoenix qouted me $1000 bucks. Seemed awfully high...

Always looking for people in Phoenix to go ride......

Peace

Soulfly, order a pint of the gelcoat from Mastercraft. This will give you the closest color match. Then look up gelcoat repair online. There are some good resources on here and glecoat is not that hard if the color match is done for you.

had the gelcoat repaired on my boat for $400. It was a circle about 2 inches around. took it to the local shop and i can't even show you where it was anymore because they did such a good job. looks like that kind of repair is more expensive in arizona. too bad you don't live in california.

the cheapest way to fix the hole is to install small panhead screws with a little silicone
