Hi

This is a pic of my 07 seadoo challenger 180, the boat had a small damage to the front and the previous owner tried to fix it but we can still see it. Is there a way i could fix that ?? if so how and what product would u recommend ??

Thanks

No problem...just sand down the area, go on www.gelcote.com and buy a gelcoat repair kit for $35 and then spread it over the spot...put a piece of the clear plastic over the spot (comes in kit) let it dry and wet sand until you can't see it anymore!! I just did it on a spot and came out perfect.

Good luck

Thats an easy fix. There are a few recent threads with all the info you need. Start with 1000, then 1500 and then finish with 2000. All wet. I used too much and had to knock it down flat first with a drywall sanding block. It needs a better surface to stick too....I would scuff it up some before you put it down. Dont sand it totally smooth.
