As your boat is often your most treasured family vehicle,
you always want it looking its best. But even with your best efforts to keep
your boat looking great and polished, nature will still take its course and the
elements will cause wear and tear. This constant exposure will lead to damage
on the boat’s surface, and will need repair.
Gel coat is a resin usually found on newly-manufactured
boats. It is generally less expensive material-wise compared to marine paint
and is formulated to be protective, so no add-ons are needed. Gel coat is more
conducive to small repair areas compared to paint, but the area where gel coat
really excels is in its longevity.
Gel Coat will typically last up to two decades without the
need for major repair work, while paint will more likely require at least one
repair job within the same period of time. Additionally, gel coat can be made
textured on its own by applying a textured surface on top of the gel coat
before it fully cures. This eliminates the need for additional no-slip layers
or coatings on the boat surface.
Once you have decided on how you will want your boat
repaired, or if you have any further questions about your boat repair options,
don’t hesitate to contact Blue Ocean Vessel Maintenance to schedule an
