djlewis Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 Anybody know someone who does significant gel-coat repair and refinishing? I've got a sizeable break and some smaller ones -- all taped over for now -- and could also use a good refinishing all around. I haven't the skill or place to do it myself.There was a message some time back from someone who does this, but I fear it's gone with the archives to that great byte bucket in the sky. Joel at NESC might do it, but he's out of town right now, and I don't know for sure he'd take me on.Thanks. --David. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Gwynn Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 My Brother had some work done by Strazkayaks. One sizeable repair that had damage down to the kevlar. Also had them do a complete refinish (Buffing) while they were at it.I believe he charged $100.00, and did a great job.BillP&H Capella...All White Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael_Crouse Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 Nice guy and he does nice work. His website has a picture of a boat that had it's front bulkhead moved for a taller paddler, that's my Foster Rowe Shadow.Patrick Otten (last name?) used to do glass work too, maybe he still does? I think he's in Newton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markstephens Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 David, you can also give Roger Crawford a yell at www.melonseed.com. He is in Marshfield and does all the gel-coat work for folks on the South Shore. He is an avid kayak enthusiast and basically works on kayaks as a side line from his main business which is the Melonseed Skiff. I understand his rates are very reasonable.Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djlewis Posted February 23, 2004 Author Share Posted February 23, 2004 Thanks to everybody for all the suggestions. I think I will give Strazkayaks a buzz, but the others sound good too. I have a call in to Patrick Otten, but I think he only does fairly minor work, and I haven't heard back yet. --David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
