Looking for recommendations of shops that repair aluminum boats. Damage is above the water line so mainly cosmetic. Feel free to pm. Thanks for the help!

George’s in East Bethel. They fixed my glass boat last summer and did an outstanding job. They fix tin boats too, and I would think they would do a great job on yours as well.

+1 on Anchor. Especially for a repair insurance is not paying for. Great work, and the price is very fair for the quality of work.

But get it in there NOW! There are a limited number of shops that take on this work these days and when spring gets close, things go crazy.

Here is a picture of the deepest scratches in my gelcoat. Before and after. One would think that they could figure out how to keep pictures right side up.

Had the same type of scratch on my Ranger back in 1999. Georges fixed them right up. Couldn’t tell they ever had to work on it.

Excellent job.

Thanks everyone! Called both places. Spoke with George’s and left a message with Anchor but never heard back. Appreciate the help!
