If you’re a “do-it-yourself” person and like to tinker with your own vehicle repairs or repair projects around the house, you might be tempted to take up Jet Ski repairs as well. Unfortunately, Jet Skis are incredibly complicated machines, and they’re particularly difficult to make repairs on because of their size and the parts needed to make repairs. Even at some boat or Jet Ski repair shops, you might find that your Jet Ski brand isn’t commonly worked on, which means that you run the risk of spending exorbitant amounts of money on Jet Ski repairs simply because they are complex. Often times, Jet Skis are repaired in specialty Jet Ski repair shops, often working with specific brands, or perhaps one brand only. You might even consider taking your Jet Ski to a brand name repair shop so that you can be sure that you’ll get the parts and services you need. However, Anchor Marine Repair can offer you an alternative St. Paul, MN Jet Ski repair solution; our boat and Jet Ski repair shop, experienced in servicing a wide range of Jet Ski brands, including the major brand names.

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
