What should I know about finding someone who can do those repairs -- in Iowa. Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.

There are good shops in Cedar Rapids and Des Moines, what part of Iowa are you located in? (You can always "Google" fiberglass boat repair and find someone close, but I would sure use the previously described methods of finding someone first. If you do have to take it somewhere you don't know, I'd ask for references from satisfied customers or examples of their work.)
