Fiberglass Deck Repair

Here is the damage to Bud's deck. The boat was stored upside down on a trailer and uring a hurricane the high winds slammed the deck into a trailer roller.

I made a fiberglass backer patch using a good deck for a template, slid the patch inside and pulled it into place with strings. Screws held it tight until epoxy dried.

I filled in faired areas with epoxy then Marine Tex.
