I have a 72 hawaiian mini day cruiser with B cut impeller. Its been sitting for a while not and the gel coat is horrible its flaking and cracking on the deck of the boat. The engine braces are rotting out of it and the rear insid of the engine bay is rotting away. Can all of this be fixed or am i better off finding a new hull?
thanks guys

If you put up a post asking for shops in your area somebody will post up and help. Maybe try the sandbar too.
Money as all things is realative. It can be done cheaper yourself than hiring it done, If you'de said "money" was no problem instead of time :D I'm sure you would've gotten lots of PM's. LOL
Good luck. If you use the search feature in the upper right hand corner you can probably find a ton of info.
How bout some pics and we can see what ya got to work with.

Nice to see someone else from Katy around here. Myself, Texasjet, and Baja204 are from Katy as well. May be some others. One place you might start is Mike's Pump and Speed. Mike sometimes has hull forsale or knows of ones forsale or he may be able to point you in the right direction. There is a guy from Spring I believe that knows a guy up that way that is supposed to be real good with that kinda stuff. His name is five-O. You could pm him but I'm not sure how much he visits the boards.
