Fiberglass Crack and Stress Fracture Repair
Small cracks in a hull can grow quickly when exposed to the Gulf's wave action and UV rays. Our technicians assess the depth and cause of each fracture before grinding, filling, and fairing the area back to a smooth, watertight finish.
Common Signs You Need Service
Catching a problem early on your fiberglass boat is almost always cheaper and faster to fix than waiting until it worsens — especially before peak Gulf boating season. Here are four signs it's time to call a professional.
Visible Hull Cracks:
Spider cracks or longer stress fractures on the hull or deck can allow water into the laminate, leading to delamination. Don't ignore them, even if they look superficial.
Soft or Spongy Deck:
A deck that flexes underfoot is a sign of moisture-saturated core material. Left untreated, the rot spreads and repair costs rise significantly.
Hard Starting or Stalling Engine:
An outboard that cranks slowly, stalls at idle, or surges under load likely has a fuel, ignition, or cooling issue that won't resolve on its own.
Milky or Discolored Bilge Water:
Oily or discolored water in the bilge can signal a leaking seal, a fuel system issue, or water intrusion through a failing fitting — all worth diagnosing before your next trip.
