Pre-season fiberglass inspection and finish prep to reduce downtime during Minnesota’s launch window.
In Central Minnesota, spring launch dates come fast. A structured pre-season check helps catch fiberglass issues before service queues get crowded.
Pre-Launch Inspection Checklist
- Inspect high-stress zones for fresh cracks and impact marks.
- Check previous repair areas for movement or finish edge changes.
- Look for oxidation or chalking on exposed gel coat surfaces.
- Confirm all hardware mount points are sealed and stable.
Small corrections are easier to schedule before peak season. Waiting until first launch weekend can delay repairs when demand spikes.
Why Off-Season and Early Spring Scheduling Helps
Early scheduling gives more flexibility for structural work, curing windows, and finish matching. If your boat needs both repair and detailing, combining services in one planned window can reduce total downtime.
