Structural Repair
Transom, stringer, and hull work — repaired back to factory strength.
What's included
What this service covers.
A boat's structure is what everything else is attached to. When a stringer rots, a transom gets wet, or a hull takes an impact that compromises the laminate, no amount of cosmetic work fixes what's actually wrong. Structural repair is the foundation — done right, it extends the life of the boat by decades. Done wrong, it fails in a season and takes the cosmetic work with it.
- Wet or rotted transoms
- Cracked, rotten, or separating stringers
- Hull impact damage below the waterline
- Structural delamination
Materials we use
- Marine plywood, closed-cell foam, or Coosa composite depending on the component
- Biaxial and triaxial cloth for load-bearing layups
- Vinyl ester resin for structural below-waterline work
- Epoxy resin where secondary bonding to cured laminate matters
- Thickened fairing systems compatible with the rebuild
Our process
From damage assessment to finished repair.
Four steps. No surprises. You know what's happening at every stage, what it costs, and what to expect when you pick up the boat.
Step 01
Consultation
Send photos and a few details. We assess the damage honestly — including whether a quick fix is enough, or whether the right answer is a more involved structural repair.
Step 02
Prep
Strip back to sound material on a proper scarf. Identify and address the root cause, not just the visible damage. No cosmetic patches over structural problems.
Step 03
Repair
Rebuild with the correct cloth, mat, and resin schedule for the load path. Vinyl ester or epoxy where it matters; polyester only where it's the right call.
Step 04
Finish
Fair, prime, and refinish in color-matched gelcoat or marine paint. The repair should disappear into the surrounding surface under normal light.
Typical timeline: Transom rebuilds typically run 3–6 weeks. Stringer repairs depend on access and scope — single-compartment jobs are often 2–4 weeks; full stringer systems can run longer. Hull impact rebuilds are scoped individually.
