I need to fix the usual cracks in gel on sides mostly on lh side. I had someone do it 2 seasons ago and the came back he refixed and the it came back again worse. Yes I know that I probally have other problems. What I need is where do I locate the gel the previous repairer does not return calls. The boat is 86 and hul base color is white. The rh side has no cracks but blistered in the mid section. I am just looking to clean it up for now.

Mini-Craft of Florida can help you with the Gel. Google it. You first need to wet sand to the orginal color before you try to match the gel coat.

Your stringers are probably bad and causing the cracks. JMO.

I agree with the stringer issue. It's the cause in 99% of hull side gel cracking.

Yes welcome to CCF! Doing another gel repair is a waste of time and money until the stringers are replaced. It will just keep getting worse until you address the cause of the problem.
