Anyone know of someone who can repair the gelcoat on a Jetski where it rubs on to the beach.
Also want to put a guard strip of stainless on it to protect it properly.
Jetski lives near Northampton, but is mainly used in poole.

Any answers,

No FullCircle has not gone over to the irresponsible dark side, its for a mate.
 
Some of the jet-ski operators here (the more enlightened ones, ie not many) add a sacrifical composite strip to the keel, using kevlar and epoxy.
This would probably be easier than fabricating a specially shaped stainless steel shoe to wrap aroud the keel in way of where it comes into contact with the beach.
Although the S/S shoe would probably last longer, if it was properly done.
 
mate had his done by a freind, gelcoat repair first, then on with the kevlar strip.

if you want his number pm me and i'll ask if he can do it.

steve.
