Fiberglass Repair and Paint

Post by Brother Dave »

My 36' troller needs quite a bit of fiberglass work and a paint job. I'm on POW and not sure if I should take it south or if someone in SE might be a good option. Anyone have any recommendations?

I did search previous posts but didn't find current info that seemed to cover this. I did see a recommendation for Louie Hagstrom in Juneau and spoke with him. I'll follow that up some more but hoping for more suggestions.

Many thanks,
Dave

I have had some nice fiberglass work done on my troller by the Wrangell Boat Shop (907-874-4669) in Wrangell. There are other operations in Wrangell that do glass work and painting so I would do some checking there before everyone gets too busy to help you out.

Thanks for all the replies. She's hauled out and getting a shack put over her for shelter. I think it will be quite a project but have all winter to do it and some good guys helping.

Side thought: does anyone else run an IH UD-361? I guess it's the utility version of old IH 6cyl tractor diesel.

I hear the winds are expected to kick up. Hoping my little boat shelter will survive...
