Hello All.
So I've done a few little glass repairs to my transom, splash well and gun whales with paint and all and so far it's turned out ok, so I think I'm ready to have a go at repairing a few scratches in the bottom and repair a small crack I have found which looks like it's hit the ramp a few times. Then maybe give the bottom side a new coat of paint.
What's the best way to tackle this? I've searched the forum, but as far as I can tell people are removing the boat from the trailer at home for repairs to the trailer and not the hull itself.
Can I just lay it on its side propped up on tyres and do a side at a time or should I make a jig and work directly underneath it? (I don't think my arms could handle the sanding)
I don't want to flip it upside down for various reasons or have to pay someone else to do it.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Ps, it's a mustang 1700 half cab :)
