Gelcoat missing!

My 210 Challenger had this on one side, looked like they had just cut that hole wrong. The black was solid, but a rough fiberglass edge with a small void. I filled it with MarineTex and sanded.

View attachment 55355 Looks to be that way from the factory. I felt mine and it's all smooth and not chipped away though.

Thanks for posting the pic! I talked to the Rep from Glastron and he said they are going to take care of this for me.

Now I wonder if this is something I should worry about as well. Mine isn't chipped up or rough but I'd imagine yours wasn't in the beginning either. I have around 35hrs on my boat. Keep me posted on what glastron does for you in fixing this.

I looked on my 187, didn't see anything black, just gel coat.

After some back and forth Glastron agreed to fix it! I have in writing i can bring it back at the end of the season to have the area repaired under warranty.

If something happens with mine I'm making them fix it as well. Thanks for posting this cause now there is proof if something would happen.

No problem. It was kind of a mess to deal with, but in the end they are making it right. Hopefully it's an isolated incident and nobody else has the same issue.
