Looking for suggestions on mobile cosmetic fiberglass repair.
Any first hand experiences would be good.
Appreciate your time.

I suggest you give us an ideal of what needs repaired, so we could make an appropriate suggestion. Otherwise, I would think there are few if any "mobile" fibergalss repairmen, due to the nature of the repair. My favorite fiberglass firm anywhere near Corpus Christi is Fibertex, the maker of Stiffy Push Poles. https://fibertexandsupply.com

Kevin Shaw is the owner of fibertex and is a class act and does excellent work. He redid the floor in my boat, did it on time and did everything we agreed on along with first class work. I hauled my boat 350 miles just to have him do it and I will use him as long as they are in business. I hope this helps.

I don't beleive there are any mobile fiberglass services in Corpus Christi.
If it will help, both Kevin Shaw (Fiber-Tex) and Adam Stoner (Stoner Boat Wks)
have been doing glass work since the 80's and both are very good at their trade. I've used both.

I echo Speckled Trout 100 % But lean towards Kevin. I dealt with him direct this spring and he knows fiberglass !!!

I'm not sure Adam does cosmetic repairs. I had him replace the floor of my boat and he did great

Had a pretty smart cross wind Friday.

Ouch, yeah, small but that looks like a pretty pristine boat so I feel ya.
That to me doesn't look like it's completely through the gel coat?
If so, make sure you find someone good at matching that blue..

You might be able to buff it out if the gelcoat isn't scratched. Hard to tell from just looking at a picture.
Good luck.
