Can anyone fortunate enough to live in the Detroit area recommend a good shop to have some gel repair done? I have a few dings I'd like to have fixed up before spring.
BTW, Steve, thanks for the tip on Hans Auto Electric last summer for the starter rebuild. Great shop! ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=3284 - 1988 Ski Nautique |

Silver Spray Watersports in Fenton is a Correct Craft dealer. If they won't do it, they know who will. ------------- - waterdog - http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=3896&sort=&pagenum=2&yrstart=1978&yrend=1978" rel="nofollow - 78 Ski Tique |

I'll bet you weren't impressed when you walked into Hans' place.  But Marty does a good job, and knows his 12-24 volt stuff.
I have used GlassMasters in White Lake for my Larson runabout. They did a great job on the white gelcoat. This was about 7 years ago, and I know they are still doing work. They are about a par 5 from my house. Then there's Fred's Boat Repair in Waterford who does really nice work. He put a complete transom on an old Reinell I had. Kind of pricey, but good craftsmanship. Let me know if you need numbers. BTW- Where are you located? ------------- Play hard, life's not a trial run. '85 BFN '90 BFN White Lake, Michigan |

Waterdog,
Thanks for the reply. I did try Silver Spray, but they contract the work out and from the looks of the quote, pad it quite a bit. Steve, Definitely not a spotless shop, but I was super impressed with the service. I didn't expect them to repaint the thing either. Functioned and looked like new! I'll give those two a try. I'm currently in Clawson, just south of Troy. I grew up in the Walled Lake area and spent lots of time on Commerce, Lower and Upper Straits lakes so I'm pretty familiar with the area. Thanks!
