Gel coat repair
Pulling up to the dock so my 14 yr old lab could get out and bumped the nose.....tool a chip out of the gel coat about the size of a quarter. Any suggestions on repair kits? best off to have a body shop do it? Any idea on costs? Thanks guys

I'm going to try my own. It's on white. The kit is around $30. I'll try to take a few pics when I do it.
I've also got some minor scratches on the blue portion of my boat, but I'll wait until I see how the white turns out.past---------------2003 Outback SOLD

Did same thing, went to a repair shop, money well spent, can't tell that it ever happened. Mine was 2 -3inches long and pretty deep. Wouldn't risk doing it myself if you can have it done fo a few hundred bucks!

Just add some cabosil to the gelcoat to thicken it some. You can use a wax paper over the repair to let cure nice and smooth. Leaves minimal sanding to finish
