If the gelcoat is worn off it will be a chore to repair. It doesn't
affect the structural integrity of your boat. As long as it is a trailer boat it will not be in the water long for the fiberglass to absorb water. It is common and is sually the result of repeated beachings on sandy shores. Make sure the trailer roller is rolling since you think that is the cause of yours. An easy fix might be to get one of those hull guard strips. They are basically plastic strips that stick on the hull at the V to protect it. They come in lengths up to at least 5 feet. West marine and others have them in their catalogs. oelf92 wrote: I have a 94' chaparral and at the "V" on the hull toward the front there is wear straight to the fiberglass about 3 feet long. It might be from awhile ago and looks like it could possibly be from the bottom roller, it wore through and might have cause the constant rubbing while loading and unloading from the trailer. It is smooth not ruff, and no cracks or gouges. What is the best way to repair this? Tips, Products ? ? Thanks! ! |
