    How to repair gel coat chips

    I got a used boat yesterday. Have some big rock chips alongside the outside hull that go down to a woven material? Also have some gashes by the drain plug on the edge of the transom that was either from hitting a reef or something.

    How do I fix ? Thanks guys

    If you have ever done body work and are comfortable doing said kind of work, you can repair that yourself.
    Call Ranger parts and get some matching gel coat, they'll need your vin#.

    If not comfortable with it, find a glass shop and when it's done you'll never know the repair was there.

    Take your time its really not that bad to do... for a raised lip / ledge you may end up doing 2-3 coats before getting it to where you want. But its really not that bad to do.
