I had Shumway Marina do it. And to be honest I dont know how good or not good of a job they did, since it was already back in the water when I went to pick it up. But the price was right, so hopefully they did a good job
I ended up getting it repaired by the marina, $700 for the pullout, cleaning, repair and it was done in 5 hours and I was back on the water for sunset. Easy decision
I am going to have the shop look at it tomorrow and at least quote it out, and depending on what the total bill will look like I will make my decision to get it repaired or do it myself
That would have been a good idea, but it’s not on the trailer anymore, I just pulled it to check it. And because of where it sits on the trailer and where the damage is, I would need to get it on jackstands to properly repair it. I pulled it out today with an suv that doesn’t have the capacity...
As the title says I have some gelcoat damage, and I’m wondering if I need to get a shop to repair it immediately, or if I can wait until the end of the season which is October here and repair it myself. I’m a relatively new boat owner, and know gelcoat damage isn’t good, but just not sure how...

I actually didnt turn the engine over before I pulled them, bc I didnt want the boat to start and the combustion to dry the water if there was any. I suppose I could pull the wires and then crank the engine a couple of times and then pull the plugs. Impeller was all there, it actually looked...
Update #3: Ran the boat a couple of days ago (Wednesday) for a few hours and it seemed good. It sat for the last two days and today (Saturday) I pulled the plugs again, and they were bone dry! Im not sure if im out of the woods yet, but I feel much better about where i am at. Couldn't take it...
