The previous owner of my BW 22 outrage fabricated a anchor device in the nose. I ws done with GRP and the stuuf is trown all over the inside stern. From apoint a beauty he has ruined the boat. Building back (rebuilding) is not the problem. But how do I get the non-skid back as it was before. The nose and side benched all heavely affected. |

Albert - There is a place that will sell small sections of non-skid of various designs. Some of the designs are said to be origional equipment manufacturer specifications. I do not know if they have the Whaler anti-skid. I will have to check my reference material and I will let you know of the address. Best - Don McIntyre |

In the Gougeon Bros. (West Epoxy) fiberglass repair booklet, there is information on how to make your own nonslip pattern for such repairs. I have not tried it, but it does not look or sound too difficult. You should be able to pick up this booklet wherever West Epoxy items are sold. |

Thank you all. After I was confronted with a huge price at the Boston Whaler dealer in the Netherlands, I have deliverd the vessel at a small GRP boat building and maintenane facility. They will repair the boat into the original shape with the original non skid by drawing a model from the available non-skid and all for a very reasonable price. ( less than 50% that the quoted price by the dealer ) The boat is there. The job will be done. Thnak you all. |
