General question for anyone. I’ve decided on Marine Mat as well, but haven’t determined snap or glue yet. What are the advantages and disadvantages of glue versus snap? Thank in advance


Snap pro: easier to clean because you can take out
Snap con: must be removed to haul boat on the trailer ...

Show us some pics!

Good point, BBP. The spectrum patch kits also dry up/go bad in a month or so once opened.


I've used spectrum a year later and it's been fine. I like spectrum better just because I think it's easier to work with and it matches dead on.

Kit came in today. Gonna fix it up tomorrow or Monday—I ...

I just did a pretty substantial keel gouge repair on mine last weekend. I got the evercoat gel patch kit.

I've unfortunately had to work long days this week so I haven't had a chance to sand it down, but the process is easy enough. I recorded it on my phone to put together a decently amateur ...

Got my first gouge the other day. Only my second time taking the boat out! :( The good news is that it seems to be very repairable, and I’ve got the first ding out of the way as well.

Thanks Aslan! She’s got a Volvo 280 with duoprop out drive. I’m really amazed at how much power it has ...

Hey all! I’m a first time boat owner, although I spent lots of time on the water as a kid. Did lots and lots of research on different boats and Cobalt kept rising to the top. We’ve had a bit of a cold snap here in TX, so she’s only been out once since we bought her last Tuesday, but this summer will ...
