Joseph Berkovitz Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 I want to repair a crunched-up spot on the hull of my relatively new Cetus MV from an... er... mistake on the most recent MDI retreat. I'm pretty sure it will not be the last such rock-garden miscalculation that this boat endures due to its inexperienced owner :-) So I'm interested in buying the correct matching gelcoat (Light Grey hull) from P&H's supplier and I have the contact info, but apparently they only sell in quart quantities at $125 a pop. Hmmm. $$$, albeit for a mega quantity of product. Maybe worth it, but: is anyone else out there with a light gray P&H hull interested in going in on this purchase with me? Please PM me back if so. (I realize I could just try color-matching some lower-cost stock gelcoat myself, and it might well come to that.) Thanks! ...Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterB Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Joe, I'd be game for going in on some P&H light grey gel coat: I don't think I'd like to pay $65 for ha;f a quart , but maybe half that (ie. 1/4 of the product) so if you can find one or two others, I'm in. I can testify that using the exact P&H color (rather than hand mixing) for gel coat repairs results in a great final product. Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David M Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 I'm interested also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph Berkovitz Posted November 8, 2016 Author Share Posted November 8, 2016 Sounds like we have something going on, then! I will call the gelcoat company and get this going, and let you know the details. I'll just order the quart and split it up when I get it. Peter, you can go in for either 1/4 or 1/3 and I'm good either way - I am happy to pick up the slack if you want less. But I think thirds are easier since there are 3 of us :-) ...Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Have you talked with John to see if some could be included with the next container of boats that's shipped over? It might save on the shipping and bring the costs to be more reasonable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph Berkovitz Posted November 21, 2016 Author Share Posted November 21, 2016 Hmmm... I didn't talk to John, and that would have been a good idea. However it was in fact P&H themselves who said that they couldn't supply any gelcoat and that I had to go through their supplier. Either way it's a moot point now: I've ordered the gelcoat already from the supplier, and it should arrive next week. The shipping is minimal and once we split it up 3 or 4 ways it's not too expensive. Those tiny gelcoat kits where you do your own color matching aren't that cheap either, actually. ...Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NPearson Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 after a few knocks, the advantage of a white over white boat becomes very apparent! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
