Hull repair fiberglass and gelcoat for Rinker 1991 181

Roman

I have some damage to the gel coat and fiberglass on Rinker 1991 181. I am trying to do repair myself but have no experience at all. What should I use to seal the fiberglass and what color gel coat I should use. The hull number is RNK33466G091. Thank you for any suggestions.

Spectrum makes gel coat that matches to manufacturers.  It usually turns out well.

Maybe some pictures of the damage will help.  Not sure what you mean by "seal" the fiberglass.  If the glass is damaged you might have to patch it with new resin and fiberglass cloth.

Again pictures will help a lot.

And welcome to the board!!

Is there any brand of fiberglass cloth and resin that you would suggest?

To me that doesn't look like the damage is into the fiberglass...just the gel coat is scraped off from beaching of rubbing the bottom.  Just a gel coat repair I would think.

Remove the drain plug mount do the gelcoat repairs then rebed the plug base. The base looks like it isn't sealed well and kinda looks like someone added some silicone around to seal it.

Did it fall off the trailer?
