Re: Olympian 12ft restoration(need help)
I'm just about done with the restoration of my 12' Olympian Boat and it's going into paint within the week. Fiberglass repair if extensive, is a lot of work. This and the Whaler Rage Jet boat I have are the first fiberglass boats I've ever owned. Both required repairs. Since I'm a rookie and have never performed repairs of this nature, I went to 2 places to learn how. First I would recommend your going to youtube website and simply type in fiberglass repairs if you have not yet done so or are as new to this as I was. There are many great videos. Some not so good. As to where to purchase your repair supplies, I highly recommend Tap Plastics which is located on 196th Street SW in Lynnwood. Next door to IHOP Resturaunt. They have everything and is very reasonably priced. Their staff is extremely knowledgable and will even come outside and look at what you have and will explain what is needed and how it all works! Very great customer service and price. Way cheaper then West Marine located thoughout the Northwest where we live.
Good luck and do feel free to reach out for any other additional advise I may have to share. Cheers All!
