A small rubber wheel on my trailer rusted off and I put a nice 4" long gouge into my boat this weekend.

I have watched a few videos on youtube about the repair process and it looks like a lot of work, but quite simple. What is a mystery to me is where to find the supplies?
Can someone direct me to a place in the metro or a website where I can find the resin and color?

and if you know of a great "how to" feel free to share. I'm a complete newbie.

I bought a repair kit from West Marine. Looks like there is one close to you.

+1 for West Marine...I stripped my entire boat down the bare hull and restored it a few years ago. Got almost everything I needed from them. The West System stuff is great.

I Replaced the transom in my boat and bought almost all my supplies from these guys. http://www.raka.com/ Good product. For me though it was all just glass and resin. some new fittings and such. Not sure about color and gel coat but give them a look.

I know right where that west marine is. I'll check it out sometime this summer. Thanks for your suggestions!

Give Matt Treno @Mille Lacs Marine a call. Best price on fiberglass repair around. Its usually not real expensive to have it done by the pros. Generally looks better too!
