Bluewater
Boat Repair specializes in custom fiberglass work in order to
fix some of the more complex boat repairs. On June 26, 2010
a customer had a collision with a pylon causing serious damage
to a Silver King flats boat. The damage was so severe that a
portion of the top deck had to be recreated which included the
nonskid decking and gunwale flange.
The
process of repairing this boat including removal of the top
deck in order to properly access the damaged portion of the
boat. Damaged gunwale was cut out and then redesigned as it
was beyond repair. Bluewater Boat Repair actually recreated
the portion that was removed with composite materials. The correct
angles and dimensions were taken in to account. This was a very
complicated procedure that requires only the most skillful boat
repair and fiberglass technicians. The experience and attention
to details were a necessity in order to restore the boat to
it's previous condition.
The
customer was very satisfied when the boat was returned.
"
I never in a million years would think that my boat would ever
look the same as it did before the accident. I was astonished
that the boat looked better than what it had before. Tim at
Bluewater Boat Repair was amazing. He took the time to show
me the restoration process. After seeing the steps it took to
complete the job I an convinced that I could not have had a
better person working on my boat. The attention to detail was
superb and the constant communication via updates during the
repairs was much appreciated. Thank you Tim."
