Time on the water is what we’re most interested in providing. We recognize that as you spend time on the water (and getting to and from the water) some boat damage can occur. Rutabaga is able to offer some repair services on site, and we have options to outsource the work that we’re unable to do right here.

First, you can always try to fix the chip or crack on your own. Rutabaga keeps a supply of repair products on hand, can order other parts and pieces as needed, and our staff are always willing to try to talk you through the process. If you would rather not tackle a repair job on your own, we recommend taking your boat to: The Boathouse of Madison (formerly the Sailboat House) 5345 West River Rd.

They are appropriately equipped and willing to do repairs on fiberglass, Kevlar, or gel coat. Give them a call and schedule a time to bring your boat back to life.
