Being the land of 10,000 lakes, (actually more than 14,000), Minnesotans love their boats, lakes and the great outdoors. Enduring the cold harsh winters, it is no wonder we love to get outside and enjoy a day at the beach, catching walleye, trout, bass, visiting friends at the cabin, enjoying a slow ride down the Mississippi. Whatever your calling to the water may be, it should be a time that your boat brings you the enjoyment that you seek. Read Full Post

Owning your own boat can bring months of enjoyment from spring to fall, but when winter comes, it’s time to put your boat in the garage or in storage for the season, waiting for the next beautiful day to get out on the water. In the meantime, though, why not take advantage of the time spent indoors by taking your boat in for maintenance, repairs, and remodeling? Rather than running into any problems next spring when you start it up again or bringing your boat in mid-spring for a remodeling project that could have been completed before, why not use the time when you can’t be on your boat to make any adjustments you could want or need this year? At Anchor Marine Repair, we work year-round, providing winter boat overhauls for boat owners all over Minnesota from our Delano, MN boat repair shop. Read Full Post

Is your boat looking more and more worn every year? Are you starting to wonder what color it used to be, or whether it was always that yellow-looking? Are you thinking it might be time to invest in a new boat because yours just doesn’t appeal to you anymore? Unfortunately, many long-time boat owners reach with point with their boats, and they often think that the only way forward is to invest in a brand new boat, or even a less-used boat than the one they own now, that will give them the exhilarating feeling of owning a new boat again. But at Anchor Marine Repair, we know that even the oldest boats can be remade into beautifully restored boats with simple restorations, sometimes as simple as a new paint job. If you’re in need of boat painting and boat restoration, look to our experienced Minnesota boat repair specialists, catering to Minnesota boat owners all over the state. Read Full Post

If properly maintained, fiberglass boats can look like new for years without showing signs of wear. That said, nothing lasts forever, and your boat’s metal flake paint job is no exception. Like any part of your boat, the metal flake paint that keeps your boat shining like new in full color can begin to oxidize and wear away if exposed too long to the water and weather, which means that your once colorful metal flake, or poly flake paint, can become much less colorful, leaving your fiberglass boat looking damaged and worn. If you’ve had a boating accident, or if you have an older boat that’s beginning to look like its best days are behind it, metal flake damage is especially noticeable, occurring in larger and larger sections the more damage your boat has sustained. For metal flake repairs that will leave your boat looking like now, come to Anchor Marine Repair for Delano, Minnesota metal flake restoration. Read Full Post
