THE FIBERGLASS BOAT REPAIR MANUAL
by Allan H Vaitses

Are there hairline cracks in your boat's deck or topside's gelcoat? Has her colour and lustre faded over the years? Does she have deck leeks? Is her hull oil canning in a sea? If your answer to any of these questions is yes, then this is the book for you. This book is the definitive guide for fibreglass boat repair and beautification, covering not only cosmetic dings and scratches, but also major repairs of structural damage to hull and decks. This is the book that shows you how.
