what do you mean by professionals? Mike has been in the fiberglass repair business for just as long as those guys in Louisiana and you don't have to drive an additional three hours each way.

He has repaired thousands of boats and put on hundreds of Gator hulls.

I've been gone since last wednesday,
After talking to Mike on the phone and getting a ballpark price, i wanted him to see the boat and learn more about the process so I made an appointment to meet Mike with my boat at Lake Fork Fiberglass at 8 am in the spring 2015. An employee arrives at 8:30am, he does not know whern Mike will arrive. He calls him to remind him of our meeting. He says he will get there in 20 minutes. whille waiting the employee finally desides to show me a boat (the only one in the shop) being repaired, but will not talk about process. (I am in the construction industry and I investigate defective construction so i want to know the process and materials to do my own research for compatibilty.) Mike arrives, while I was having a general discussion with him employee, he immediately tells his employee to stop talking. We go outside, he looks at my boat without tapping or sounding any surface, he tells me its toast, and his gator hull will not fix it. i ask him how he knows that and he just says it is, he been doing this for years, and I would not like the finish product and walks away. Great customer service? a waste of my time.

After this I called Toledo Bend Fiberglass, night and day discussion, they answered every question I had. I was travelling to Lousianna the following week, so i took my boat with me. First thing i noticed was boats in repair bays and quite a few boats along their fence to be repaired. They met me and discussed the process and materials showed me boats in various stages of completion. They looked at the boat and sounded the hull and the damaged areas of my boat, confirmed my boat was not toast, and that either normal fiberglass repair or the gorilla hull would fix the damages. At that time i desided to fix it wilth normal fiberglass and gel coat. But now after finding a rock while beaching the boat at a public ramp recently, I will repair it with a Gorilla hull.

I have had GATOR hulls by Lake Fork Fiberglass on my last 2 boats.
It made the sale on the first one and will help if I ever sell the current one.

The big difference between the GATOR HULL and others
is the others are applied with A CHOPPER GUN whereas
the GATOR HULL is continuous fiberglass mat.
This Makes for a stronger surface.

Bout how much does it cost to do this.
