Spring is here and boating season is right around the corner. If your boat sat all winter, now is the time to check it over before you launch.

Faded gelcoat? Spider cracks? Chips from last season you never got around to fixing? Small damage doesn't stay small — and it's always cheaper to fix now than after a full summer in the sun.

We're Riptide Boat Repair in New Bern. We specialize in fiberglass repair, gelcoat repair, oxidation removal, and detailing — in-shop and mobile at your dock.

Week 5 – Structural Damage

🛠️ Boat Tip of the Week

If a deck or hull feels soft or flexes under pressure, the damage is deeper than the surface. Cosmetic fixes won’t hold — structural repair is required to restore strength.

Ignoring it only makes repairs more expensive later.

Week 4 – Mobile Repairs

🛠️ Boat Tip of the Week

Many fiberglass and gelcoat repairs can be done right at your dock or marina — but not all repairs belong in the field. Structural damage, flexing, and deep repairs need shop conditions to last.

Knowing the difference saves time and money.

Week 3 – Oxidation

🛠️ Boat Tip of the Week

If your gelcoat leaves white residue on your hand, oxidation has already started. Early correction restores shine without aggressive compounding or heavy material removal.

The sooner oxidation is addressed, the better the finish
