Inferior gel coat?Any ideas on this? Has to be an old repair job? I thought so too but it feels smooth to the touch and no other areas of concern. Pretty well cared for boat but this area has me stumped.
It may not be inferior, but just a bad match.Inferior gel coat?
Just noticed all that as well when I zoomed in. Definitely looks like 4" fiberglass roll on the edges. Caulk where the transom meets the deck was well. Wonder what happened??Directly below that, almost to the floor, looks like another patch job. There is also a large, whiter, area to the right of it.
Yes, notice the notch at the top of the sidewall is irregular, especially on the inside corner.That was a patch someone did and a few years later it didn't age like the original.
It's on the transom inside of cockpit of a boat I am considering purchasing. I'm dealing with literally the worst broker in the world and I can not get an answer on anything. And it takes about a week to get a reply. Want to guess what is standard reply is? "I have a call into the owner, waiting for a call back." He's said this about everything, call into the service dept, call into the mechanic for possible records, have a call into......total BS.
If it’s a repair, why aren’t the edges linear?
It means you grind out the gel coat via straight lines. The pattern in the pic looks very random.Linear, what does that mean?
That is definitely a repair of some sort, if you look at the picture you can see lot's of discoloration in other spots as well. Like as if stress cracks were repaired gel/paint sprayed.

I have never seen straight lines with grinding. Usually some sort of oval and never straight corners. When you spray the gel it needs to be faired into the existing and you will sometimes see that kind of erratic blending line. Especially if it was painted instead of being gel-coated.
Your repair people must be drunk then.Same here. I’m with Skybolt on this one. Haven’t see straight lines with grinding.
For superficial repairs like this, though, there's no real reason to even try and keep it straight. In fact, a blurred line would be less noticieable than a straight line, as well.Your repair people must be drunk then.
