I regret that I must renege on that offer. I have another engagement in Castle Rock (4 hours South) that day, so I can't stick around for the luncheon. I'll need to get on the road right after the training.

That statement seems contradictory. Laughing

Just kidding, but I had to beat Pat and Dave to it. Very Happy

Scott,

I believe you said you could sell little bottles of gel coat to match our boats. Do we need to supply the bottle or container? Or do you already have them packaged that way?

Seems to me that there is no longer any question that the C-Dory line is in good hands, with great support for (and from) the C-Brats.

I have been out of town for a bit and haven't been following this thread. I will be attending the class and more than willing to bring along something. It looks like we already have a pretty full menu, does anyone have a suggestion for another item to bring??? Otherwise I will just bring my notepad and appetite.

And another thanks to Scott for putting all this on, I'm really looking forward to it!!!

The Gel coat Repair Class was a great success! Thumbs Up Many thanks to Scott and Jeff who spent their day off mentoring us.

Scott started with an approximately 8' square gelcoated panel. It had scratches, a small hole, a 1.25" hole all the way through to simulate a thru hull hole and a deep gouge. At the end of the class, the panel looked like new! All the material is readily available from Fisheries Supply.

If Bill or Mike will open an album, many photos of the repairs and material used will magically appear. Sorry, no videographers were present but the 14 assembled Brats absorbed enough information to make up a pretty good repair manual.

Thanks also to the folks who brought Salmon, Rockfish, Beer, Wine, Salads, Cookies and Pies. The C-Brats seem to run on food! Laughing

I second Roger's post. The class was exactly what I needed to convince me to try and relocate a battery switch - its location has been bothering me since I purchased the boat. Relocating the switch will leave a 3" diameter hole in the transom area which will need to be filled and gel coated. Scott's demonstration really made it look doable for me. I suspect the finished product will not look as nice as what Scott can do, but I am willing to give it a try.

Thanks to Scott and Jeff for their very generous donation of time and knowledge. Also thanks to all the folks bringing food. The fish, salads, deserts and drinks really hit the spot.

Oh, almost forgot.... George, your boat looks nice!! I know that you are going to really love it Smile

Thanks Bill for creating the album. Thanks tons to Scott for taking time out of his weekend to teach this class and to host the brats attending. I learned a lot an feel a lot more confident in approaching fiberglass repair. It was also nice to meet Jeff Lindhout and to see the new 22's that are being built. They are definitely nicer than any of the previous 22's and Scott's attention to detail shows through. I posted about 2 dozen photos I took of the gel coat repair class hopefully others will do the same. I saw some people taking detailed notes and that will be useful too. Thanks again Scott for taking the time with us today.
