Mobile vs. In-Shop Service
Not every repair can be done on-site. Here's a quick guide:
Mobile service works best for:
- Gelcoat chips, scratches, and surface cracks
- Dock rash and minor impact damage
- Light to moderate oxidation removal
In-shop service is recommended for:
- Structural fiberglass and hull damage
- Heavy oxidation correction
- Full boat detailing
- Repairs that require controlled curing conditions
