Folks,
Need some advice on repairing some deck damage on the 18 outrage. I have included the pictures in my personal pages. I'm not sure how to link you guys to them but I'm hoping you can find them somehow.
They are under panalukes in the 18' whaler personal pages.
I'm thinking Marine Tex would be the easiest. But then, probably not the best.
Advice appreciated.
Luke

Luke,
When a member creates a Personal Page, Project Album, etc., that album shows up under their name next to their post forever.
Look under your name to the left of every post.
This way people can click on that link to view their personal page or albums they created.

I would be more concerned with the open holes along side of your T top poles that will allow water to get under the deck. MarineTex will do fine in them. Any other through holes in the deck should also be sealed.
I'll wait for others to chime in about the chip in the no skid but I think I would patch that with epoxy resin.

Very cool and I will be interested to hear from others how well this repair stands up.

Depending on your gelcoating skill level ? You may just consider paying to have that repaired. I would think for about $150 or less a shop could repair this for you. The nonskid will be difficult to match. If you are not worried about cosmetics you could use many different epoxys, resins, or gelcoat. If you could get away with using a spectrum patch paste kit, that may be the most economical and closest color match.

I wouldn't think it would be difficult to repair, you just have to do it. Just make sure you wax the areas you don't want the gel coat to stick to.
They that give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty or safety.

They make that non-skid repair look so easy in both the vid's and the West System how to article. I have yet to hear of anyone who has tried it... Let us know if you give it a go, and take some pic's along the way if you do, would make a great project page.

Right you are Dave! I have purchased kits such as these for both ATV plastic repairs and for woodworking after watching video and in person demonstrations. Some really do work and are fairly simple to master while others can be rather painful for a novice.
A project page would be very nice to see here as well as hearing about the products durability after the fact.
I do know that with the plastic repair kit for ATVs I could easily take a mold of the No Skid on my boat and transfer it to the hole in question to duplicate the pattern.

I have use MAS epoxy many times. The repair in the video is really basic and anyone can do it. Luke this would be a good solution to your repair.

Thanks gents. I called MAS epoxies and Gibco Flexmold and unfortunately they don't have a match for me. But they did suggest a Amazing Mold Putty that I could make a negative of the mold myself, and use that. I will give it a try and let you all know how it turns out.

Sounds like the kit I bought for repairing the plastic on ATVs.
The mold stuff gets heated in an electric fry pan until soft and you make an impression of the no skid. you then use the supplied plastic powder and liquid to duplicate the area.
In your case I can't say if the gelcoat repair epoxy will adhere to the mold or not but it would be easy enough to do a test patch.
I do believe I would cut out all of the cracked areas and make the repair in a rectangular shape to fix the entire area. It all depends upon how anal you want to be with the finished repair.
I am a bit surprised they don't have the pattern for the BW no skid, where have they been????
