Title: Fiberglass Shop on the West Side
Post by: Slipkey on June 12, 2007, 05:01:04 PM
Can anyone give a good recommendation on a fiberglass repair shop in the Grand Rapids area? 

I have some warranty work (outside of warranty, actually, but the great folks at Ranger are taking care of me :) ) I need to get a quote for the work and haven't used anyone in this area before.

Thanks in advance!

Call Cooper Boat Repair.  They are awesome!!!  I had my work done there this spring and I am very very happy.  Don and his guys are the best.  I would give you him number but I don't have it handy.  D&R will have it or you can look it up.

Thanks, guys!  I'll give them a call tomorrow. 

Actually, I'm pretty sure Cooper has had my boat before.  When I originally ordered it from D&R in 2004 there was some minor fiberglass damage in transit that had to be repaired.  I dropped the boat off with them and I'll bet they used him to get it fixed.

I sure will, Dan.  I called him already this morning.  Don was out so I'm going to swing down there next week for the estimate.

Good luck with that - if anyone can get you done fast and back out fishing, it would be Don.
