My step-brother is a dumb ass and he dicided to try to pull a hose over my parents 36' boat (big deck that is high off the ground) and doing so he used the metal end of the hose as a nice pick on the gel coat making 6 parrallel chips on the side from pulling on the hose and then pulling harder when it got stuck. Is there anyway to patch gel coat nicely that has about 1cm chips without repainting the intire side of the boat?

From what I've heard he can make it so perfect that you'll never know it happend.

I've heard Havasu Barney is the greatest, but he's a long way from MO.

Alright I'll PM him and thanks. My Parents will be out there for the v-drive bash with maybe their v-drive and the 36' Baja. May/April is the bash I forgot?

I_C_E_Y,
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you, I'll be happy to advise as best I can. The thing that will make the process much easier is your ability to post some pics so we can see what's going on.
Patching gel can be done, the results will vary depending on where, what color and your ability.
If you have trouble posting pics here, email them and we'll help you out! :)
