No boat spiff-up is complete without new license numbers, transom names and pinstripes. Just do an online search for “boat graphics” and you’ll find thousands of options to choose from. Find stripes by searching for “boat pinstripes.” Remove the old ones by warming them with a heat gun (Photo 1). But be careful—if you overheat the surface, you can burn the gel coat. If yours are painted on, sand them off with 1200-grit sandpaper.

a HDPE sheet designed for the marine environment, it’s a widely popular marine material because it will never rot or delaminate, and is virtually maintenance free. It’s very easy to work with using common woodworking tools, but cannot be glued or bent. Perfect for doors, hatches, storage units, rod holders and tackle boxes.
a polyurethane foam filled with strand and woven fiberglass making it as structurally sound as plywood, but weighs about 30-40% less and will never rot or absorb water. Although it will not absorb water or rot, in most cases we recommend covering the material as it is not UV stable and due to the fiberglass composition can be rough on skin. Ideal for decking, bulkheads, and transom replacements.
a lighter weight version of King Starboard that’s less expensive but not as rigid. The reason for it being lighter and less expensive is that when extruded, a blowing agent is added. The tradeoff for this is that it has a cellular edge that dirties easily so it’s not ideal for visible applications. That said, it works well for areas not visible like tackle box shells, upholstery substrates and backing plates.
an easy to work with, less expensive, alternative to other countertop materials. It is available in many attractive colors and designs. That said, it is not as durable as natural stone or granite and has lower heat limitations, but it’s perfect for countertops, vanities and wet bars.
Another good product is MEGUIAR's M-4965 MG Fiberglass Oxidation Removal Kit. This three-step restoration system is affordable and works on a variety of boat types. It contains a base, cleaning solvents, and catalyst.
If you're restoring an older boat, you'll want to use a gel coat restorer to remove stains, water spots, and rust. These are unsightly flaws that can ruin the look of your boat. You should look for a product that has a great sheen, as well as an oxidation remover.

Most hired-out repairs of any type are roughly 50 percent labor and 50 percent materials. Not so with this fix—hull repairs are all about labor. The repairs on this boat would cost roughly $3,000 at a shop. But the materials only cost about $250 and the buffer about $150! So roll up your sleeves. Your fiberglass boat repair might not be perfect, but your boat will look unbelievably better than it did before. Just don’t try to rush or skimp on the materials. And know that this job is much bigger than it looks.
