Question 1

Do fiberglass repairs come with a warranty?

Lukas · Accepted Answer

Yes – all fiberglass hull repairs come with a 6–12 month workmanship warranty. We also use marine-grade resins and gelcoats to ensure long-term durability and UV resistance.

Question 2

Do you repair fiberglass cracks below the waterline?

Lukas · Accepted Answer

Absolutely. We repair hull cracks, delamination, and structural fractures both above and below the waterline. All repairs are reinforced using proper marine techniques for submerged applications.

Question 3

Can you match the original gelcoat color after repair?

Lukas · Accepted Answer

Yes – we color match gelcoat finishes to blend repairs seamlessly with the rest of your hull. We use high-quality marine pigments and can match most factory and custom colors.

Question 4

How much does fiberglass hull repair typically cost?

Lukas · Accepted Answer

Minor chip or hairline crack repairs start at $300. Larger hull damage with grinding, fiberglass layup, and refinishing can range from $800 to $2,500 depending on the extent and location.

Question 5

Do you fix fiberglass delamination on older hulls?

Lukas · Accepted Answer

Yes – we specialize in restoring delaminated fiberglass, even on older vessels. We remove damaged laminate, dry the core, and rebuild using marine-grade materials for structural integrity.

Question 6

What causes fiberglass to crack or delaminate?

Lukas · Accepted Answer

Common causes include impact damage, prolonged sun exposure, water intrusion, and aging resins. Poor previous repairs or improper maintenance can also lead to delamination or gelcoat cracks.

Question 7

Can you repair impact damage from trailering or docking?

Lukas · Accepted Answer

Definitely. We frequently fix chips, spider cracks, and crushed fiberglass caused by trailer rollers, dock strikes, or boat lifts. We ensure strength and a smooth finish post-repair.

Question 8

What are the signs that my transom needs structural repair?

Fryderyk Florczak · Accepted Answer

Common signs include cracks around the engine mount, flexing when trimming the motor, water intrusion, loose bolts, or unusual vibrations. A soft or weakened transom can compromise safety and should be inspected immediately.

Question 9

Is a damaged transom dangerous to operate?

Fryderyk Florczak · Accepted Answer

Yes. A compromised transom can fail under engine load, especially at speed or in rough water. This can lead to engine misalignment, hull damage, or complete structural failure. Repairing it early prevents major safety risks.

Question 10

What causes transom damage or rot?

Fryderyk Florczak · Accepted Answer

Transom damage is commonly caused by water intrusion through unsealed bolts, aging core materials, corrosion, or stress from larger engines. Over time, trapped moisture leads to rot and loss of structural integrity.

Question 11

What does transom structural repair and reinforcement include?

Fryderyk Florczak · Accepted Answer

The service includes removing affected components, repairing or replacing the damaged core, reinforcing the structure with marine-grade materials, resealing all penetrations, and restoring proper engine mounting strength.

Question 12

Can the transom be reinforced without full replacement?

Fryderyk Florczak · Accepted Answer

Yes. In many cases, reinforcement can be done using composite materials or internal bracing without a full transom replacement. We assess the extent of damage and recommend the most cost-effective and durable solution.

Question 13

Do you provide documentation and warranty for transom repairs?

Fryderyk Florczak · Accepted Answer

Yes, all transom structural repairs come with documented work reports and a warranty on labor, typically ranging from 6 to 12 months. Materials used are marine-grade and backed by manufacturer specifications.

Question 14

Can transom reinforcement handle heavier or upgraded engines?

Fryderyk Florczak · Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Reinforcement is often recommended when upgrading to a heavier or higher-horsepower engine. We ensure the transom meets or exceeds structural load requirements for safe and reliable operation.

Question 15

What are the benefits of extending a swim platform on my boat?

Fryderyk Florczak · Accepted Answer

A swim platform extension provides more usable space for swimming, boarding, relaxing, and water sports. It improves safety when getting in and out of the water and adds comfort and value to your boat.

Question 16

Can you repair cracks or soft spots on an existing swim platform?

Fryderyk Florczak · Accepted Answer

Yes, we repair cracks, delamination, soft spots, and structural damage. Our repairs restore strength, safety, and appearance using marine-grade materials designed for long-term durability.

Question 17

What materials do you use for swim platform extensions?

Fryderyk Florczak · Accepted Answer

We use marine-grade fiberglass, composite cores, aluminum frameworks, and non-slip surfaces such as EVA foam or marine decking. Materials are selected based on your boat type, weight capacity, and usage.

Question 18

Is a swim platform extension safe for my boat’s transom?

Fryderyk Florczak · Accepted Answer

Yes, when properly engineered and installed. We inspect the transom structure, reinforce mounting points if needed, and ensure the extension is safely supported without stressing the hull.

Question 19

Can you customize the size and shape of the swim platform?

Fryderyk Florczak · Accepted Answer

Absolutely. We design custom swim platform extensions to match your boat’s layout, width, and intended use. Custom options include ladders, handrails, non-slip decking, and integrated steps.

Question 20

How long does a swim platform repair or extension take?

Fryderyk Florczak · Accepted Answer

Minor repairs can often be completed within 1–2 days. Custom extensions or structural repairs typically take several days depending on complexity, materials, and curing time.
