When my trailer broke and it damaged the boat, the only place the insurance company really wanted us to go was Alaska Performance RV and Marine. I had never used them, as I had used a shop out here in the valley, but our agent convinced me otherwise. I'm glad I listened as they matched the gel coat perfectly and did a good as new job. It takes a lot to impress me and I was impressed. There was one downfall. They were so stinking busy with fiberglass repair work that it took 6 weeks to get it in. But with that said, it was worth every minute of waiting as you can't even tell it happened.

I would second Mr. Bauer on Ak Performance RV and Marine. I actually haven't used them for my boat. But they did a good job on my 5th wheel trailer:

Finesse Fiberglass from the valley although he did a lot of work in Anchorage and Whittier, if he is still in business. Fixed a cracked transom for me about ten years ago and it is stronger and looks better than when it left the factory. Stronger part wasn't too hard as factory just filled top of transom with putty - one of my few construction complaints about C-Dory.

CAC Plastics in Wasilla at 907 376-7111 talk to Tom
I had my '82 Transom replaced by these guys, they are awesome !!!
Great at smaller fiberglass projects as well... I had them build me new kicker mount, instal new anchor roller and redo fiberglass under new roller and build cleaning table that comes off the transom...

This is who the dealers (AMDS) use, and have a outstanding reputation.

I hate to be negative, but I wish someone would have told me to never use "Storm Chasers" in Seward, these folks drilled 4 holes in the side of my boat to install trim tabs, who puts trim tabs on the side of boats above waterline, they did a awful job trying to cover up the mistake, and did everything they could not to tell me. CDC ended up re-fixing the holes. The one thing that bothered me most about Storm Chasers was the lack of communication and dishonesty...

PM if you have more questions or concerns.

They are very good too. They helped me with my old bayliner a couple of times.

Thanks for all the replies. AK Performance RV and Marine said they don't do boat work anymore and referred me to CAC.

Has anyone had work done by E&R in Chugiak?

All,

I just had some work done on the RayAnn by Joel Morse owner of Ashbreez boatworks in Anchorage, Alaska. 907 529-1907

He repainted the bottom, buffed the hull and cabin, touched up some gel coat dings here and there and filled some holes in the cockpit and rail from the previous owners adventures in hardware mounting.

Joel delivered what he promised, on time and on cost with no surprizes. He kept me in the loop during the repairs and exceeded my expectations in work quality and value.

He is also looking into spraying Mascoat insulation as part of his service line. If there are any C-brats in the Anchorage area that would like to show off their Mascoat jobs, give him a call or drop me a line. He would like to see what the final product looks like and how it is holding up to wear and tear.

fyi, no relation or financial interest, just thought I would pass on some info about a good guy to work with.

Regards,
Dave
