Here is a short video that was put on Facebook about the Gorilla Hull. I have one on my Ranger from a few years ago after busting a hole in the pad. No complaints from me at all. There is no real advertisement for the Gorilla Hull. It is pretty much just word of mouth.
Hope the link works.

Thanks,very interesting.
It’s awesome, unless you have seen one or seen the results of having one, guys just don’t understand.
I installed a gorilla hull and transom from Toledo Fiberglass on my 1998 Bullet back in the day. I can tell you from experience that it's unreal how tough that hull is. They keep the pad smooth so the boat runs out like it should. I don't know if they still do it or not but the warranty carries over to the next boat owner so it's a good selling feature knowing they won't have to pay to ever get it fixed if by some chance it fails. Al is a great guy to deal with..............

I’d have this done to my boat but they are a very long way from me. Only negative I hear is maybe a slight speed loss

Had a gorilla hull installed this past spring due to hitting a log and putting a hole in my BassCat. Insurance covered it. The folks at Toledo Fiberglass are easy to work with and honest. I have a lifetime warranty on the hull. Having a gorilla hull takes the stress out of running east Texas lakes and rivers. I’d recommend them to anyone.
Anyone ever get a Gorilla Hull put on a boat with hull blisters? Meaning get them repaired?

Look at one of the boats in the vid...it has been ground out where the bunks are. I would think there were blisters there...

I wanted them to show a finished boat.
My dad had it on his old Ranger, gouges in the sides of the boat but the bottom, where the gorilla hull was applied was just fine. If you wear it down by beaching the boat, they will fix those spots.

Had one on my last Ranger. Amazing!! Would recommend to anyone with hull issues. Not nearly as expensive as you would think.
Thinking about putting one on my current 2016 Ranger. Have gel coat blisters under bunks.
Can you put Gorilla Hull on an aluminum boat?

It's a great product. I had mine done in 2014 and haven't looked back. Toledo Bend stumps are no match! lol
I had it done to my Gambler and I am very pleased with the hull. Al and his crew are top notch and I am a huge fan of Gorilla Hull.

I cant believe there's that many boat hull problems!
until you fish in all the man made reservoirs in this area and see the trees an stump fields that you run, idle and fish through every trip on lakes with water fluctuations of 4-10' regularly, you just cant grasp the hull dangers coming from the natural lakes. Then the trees and stumps bring unbelievable amounts of floaters and idiots marking trees that broke off and now under water with rebar hammered into the top which might seem great at that current water level. But when it water comes back up 2' and now the rebar is 6" under the water.
And T-post from fences.
I had blisters on my 2009 z 520 and ignored them until i idled over a stump containing a piece of short re-bar and ripped an 8 ft gash in its bottom, I had a gorilla hull put on that included fixing the hull blisters. They ground and smoothed the blistered areas, patched the severly damaged area and then added the gorilla hull last year. No complaints from me and I did not see any decrease in performance either.
