    Fiberglass Shop

    My buddy just bought an older ranger. The top cap needs to be reconditioned in a major way but overall the boat is in good shape so he is getting it in recarpeting it as well. He's looking for fiberglass shop recommendations. He lives in the Orlando area but will drive anywhere within the state to get the job done right. Here is a pic of his boat.

    I have heard that Millers fiberglass in winter haven is pretty good. The way the boat is sitting in the pic is perfect for repair work. Less labor for removing stuff and taping off carpet and other sensitive areas.

    I didn't have a good experience.
    This thread made me look at their Google reviews, and I left one myself.

    You can try these guys, they seem to be well regarded, not sure they will work on a glitter boat or not.

    That's a good project boat, Z series hull and not terribly old.

    Yes sir it is. My buddy is a marine mechanic, he already has new seats and floor going in after he gets the glass work completed.
