Expert Fiberglass & Structural Boat Repairs
Do you have damage to your boat’s fiberglass structure? Don’t worry! We’ve got you covered.
Fiberglass is one of the most durable materials used in modern boats, but even the toughest hulls can suffer damage from impacts, age, water intrusion, and normal wear and tear. Small cracks and weak spots often start as cosmetic concerns but can eventually compromise the structural integrity of your vessel if left untreated.
At JBRV, we specialize in diagnosing and repairing fiberglass and structural damage on boats, jet skis, Sea-Doos, and personal watercraft. From minor fiberglass repairs to complete transom rebuilds and deck replacements, our team has the experience and equipment needed to restore your boat correctly.
Many repairs begin with a thorough inspection to determine the extent of the damage. Once identified, we develop a repair plan that addresses the root cause—not just the visible symptoms—to ensure long-lasting results.
Common structural & fiberglass repairs we perform:
Hull Repair
Your hull serves as the foundation of your boat. Damage caused by impacts, docks, trailers, submerged objects, or normal wear can lead to cracks, punctures, delamination, and water intrusion.
Common hull issues include:
- Fiberglass cracks
- Impact damage
- Gouges and punctures
- Delamination
- Stress cracks
- Structural weakening
Our repair process restores the damaged area while maintaining the strength and integrity of the original hull structure.
Transom Repair
The transom is one of the most critical structural components of any boat. Over time, water intrusion can cause rot, deterioration, and weakening that may not be visible from the outside.
Signs of transom damage may include:
- Soft areas around the motor mount
- Visible cracking
- Excessive flexing
- Water intrusion
- Structural movement
Ignoring transom problems can lead to severe structural failure. Our technicians can evaluate the condition of your transom and recommend the appropriate repair solution before the damage becomes more extensive.
Structural Fiberglass Repair
Not all fiberglass damage is visible on the surface. Structural damage often occurs beneath the gel coat and can affect the strength and performance of your boat.
We repair structural fiberglass issues involving:
- Stringers
- Bulkheads
- Reinforcement areas
- Stress fractures
- Impact damage
- Water-damaged fiberglass components
Proper structural repairs require more than simply filling a crack. We rebuild damaged areas using proven fiberglass repair techniques designed to restore strength and durability.
Deck & Floor Replacement
Soft floors and spongy decks are often signs of underlying water damage that can spread throughout the structure of the boat.
Common symptoms include:
- Soft spots underfoot
- Sagging decks
- Water intrusion
- Rotting core materials
- Structural weakness
Replacing damaged deck and floor sections helps restore safety, improve usability, and prevent further deterioration.
