Boat Repair MN | Fiberglass Boat Repair The first day of summer, June 21, is still weeks away. But, for the nation’s 80 million recreational boaters, the upcoming Memorial Day weekend marks the start of the summer boating season. Boaters are working to a frenzy to get their boats in the water for the weekend. And who can blame them. It’s been one heck of a long winter. Memorial Day Weekend Could Mean Trouble For Boaters Memorial Day is also traditionally the second-busiest day of the year for boaters, after July 4th. One of the preferred holiday activities in Minnesota is boating. Local waterways will likely be crowded, as people take advantage of three days off and what looks like good weather ahead. National Safe Boating Week 2013 It just so happens that National Safe Boating Week 2013 is May 18-25, and the U.S. Coast Guard wants to make sure everyone remembers safety rules. Both the Holiday and National Safe Boating Week (May 18-24) present an opportunity to emphasize the importance of remaining safe while boating. The Coast Guard is promoting National Boating Safety Week’s 2013 campaign slogan – Wear It! The promotion focuses on the availability of comfortable and lightweight life jackets, as well as the safety aspects of wearing a life jacket at ALL times!

Topside painting is above the waterline to protect the boat from the sun and to keep it looking good. If your boat is used for pleasure you don’t want it looking tattered. If it is a working boat, it’s a reflection of your business. In either case, you don’t want the underlying materials of the vessel exposed to the sun, which deteriorates wood and, to a much lesser degree, fiberglass. Painting the topsides and deck of your boat with a quality marine paint can make it shine like new, helping it do one of the most important jobs of a boat: make you smile! It’s fun to look at a good looking, shiny boat while preparing for a day of fun on the water, and easier to clean at the end of the day. So how do you get from your chalky gelcoat or old paint to a boat or yacht that appears new in the color of your choice? Paint it! The three most important factors in getting a good result are preparation, preparation, and preparation. Seventy-five percent of the cost of painting involves preparation. Any paint job is only as good as the preparation that precedes it, and the skill of the people doing the...
