It might be possible to get it awlgripped instead of gell coat.Perfect match that will last much longer and should add to value.
 
Our yard is a full service yard they have an excellent glass man they are bringing down from Conn. to do the work.
I would think having the entire new rail on the boat should make it look and match the new arch and pipework for the hardtop which should add value the boot stripe needs to be redone as well after the glass work is completed.

A lot skilled marine labor is available in NJ from all the shut downs in the past few years... Properly repIred there should be no loss of resale value but I would document everything in pictures especially post storm damage to show the boat remained dry

Awlgrip is a great solution if there are many gelcoat issues but I wonder if insurance companies will accept the costs and instead push for cheaper paints. Can't beat the shine, durability and low maintenance of awlgrip
 
I am thinking after looking at the bottom and the repairs if this might be a good time to have the bottom soda blasted. Now the trick will be finding someone available with a mobile unit that isn't caught up doing commercial buildings, driveways and sidewalks in my area.

Pascal unless the skilled labor is properly licensed (has a NJ business license) and insured they are not allowed in our marina. Most of these poor laid off Soul's are broke or have moved on. As an extreme example 2 years ago one guy a laid off marine electrician who formerly worked for Viking killed his brother and an innocent woman in the parking lot of an apartment complex where they lived. He then off'ed himself. The storm will bring economic work to the area but boat's are pretty far down many peoples list of problems on the Jersey coast.

If she's a truck-able height, get a repair yard here on the Chesapeake to come pick her up. Plenty of qualified mechanics here looking for Winter work.

I think if it was truck-able he would have sold this boat a while back it I recall correctly.
 
Any way you can have the circuitry tested with a witness and document the results with pictures and a notarized statement? I agree with your concern!
 
Billy- I wish you the best with your situation, sounds like that as bad as the boat is you have a lot to be thankful for.
 
Bill where is your marina? I have been in nj for two weeks, spent all of last week on long beach. I'm here doing flood adjusting.
