Does anyone know a good resource for this type of work? Seems to small of project for a lot of boat fiberglass repair places I’ve been looking up online.

2005 180cc seapro, mine is not in bad shape, and assumed most used would be in similar condition or worse.

This stuff works great for dings dents and cracks on lids and hatched and even floorings. You can grind out a little area for best adhesion but clean and dry is the most important.

The only issue with Marine Tex is that it won’t have woven glass as a substrate for strength. If you do a little research (my recommendation is Boat Works Today on YouTube) you will find that fiberglassing is super easy and fun. Once you get a little confidence the world is your oyster! I started out on my Whaler project knowing absolutely nothing about it. You can get some fiberglass repair kits and I’d suggest DIY. You might open up a new world for yourself while you’re at it!
