Hull painting services

[Small Fry]

Anyone know of a good place to take the Johnson to have the hull repainted? There was a gel-coat product applied in the 80's and it is bubbling in places and I think the best course of action is to have it stripped down and repainted. I also need the outdrive touched up. I would like to look into having the trailer painted in the next two years as well...so the whole package looks good going down the road. Suggestions are much appreciated.

Kristy- I think that quite a few members could handle a project like yours, but are reluctant to toot their own horn. Advertiser and Member Marty Loken's Island Boat Shop can be found in the banner ad, I've also seen nice finish work on other's boats by Members: Tim Mattson, Helmar, and Yardman to name a few.

Looking forward to seeing your Evinrude in person, at an event soon.

Thanks!

I'll have a chat with some of these guys and see if anyone is willing to take it on.

All very capable guys...before you talk to them read the article on painting boats that was recently posted over at fiberglassics.com...it'll give you an appreciation of what actually goes into doing it right and why the costs may be more than you expected (or hoped for ;-) and so you can appreciate whoever ends up doing it for you more...

have fun...cool boat
