Fibreglass work and refirbisment
G'day everyone,
Google has turned up blanks so I am turning to you to recommend someone who can do some fibreglass repairs but also cut back the boat and make her look like new so I can move her on to another lucky owner.
She has suffered from the W.A sun and she was going to get the royal treatment in winter this year but now I'm in the Top End with a fibreglass boat which are pretty rare it seems especially one set up for game fishing.
I've purchased Disco's polycraft as I have owned 2 previously but as a stop gap until I can move Las Vegas on, then the little poly to get the ultimate territory Barra/coastal beast that will allow me to chase the billfish as well.
Thanks in advance

Hi mate excuse me for asking ,but why do you won't to sell it???
Nothing wrong with a glass boat around hear ,its a good looking rig
if your still going to venture off shore, and I reckon you'll prefer
the glass to ally. Plenty of billy chasers as well get down to the
Trailer boat club think the have a get together on Tuesday nights.(DGFC)
I had a look through your photo bucket ,, Shiiiit Hot shots

Re: Fibreglass work and refirbisment
Would ask the same question Simmo
I have a fibreglass for the Bluewater
Goes great, much better to sleep in for overnighter so exploring places
The cruise craft looks like a ripper setup.

If there is water and it holds fish, then it is fun trying to fool them into eating what you offer!!
Especially when you can see them!

Re: Fibreglass work and refirbisment
Mate I had a old cruise craft and no one in Darwin was very helpful but I found an old fella out acacia hills who actually worked for cruise craft, did a ripper job and cheap as chips
Don't have the details but it was down Townsend road and first or 2nd right
Massive yacht and shed in his yard and 4 or 5 boats laying around
He is a good old bloke and if you googled boat repairs out that way I reckon you would find him
Can't speak higher of the bloke

Diy, messy and smelly but easy. Plenty of guides on the net. Unless of course your getting into serious structural stuff..
I'm currently making a fibre glass console from scratch... Fun fun. And a bit of a high....
