Structural Hull Rebuilds•Tampa Bay, Florida
When damage goes beyond a patch, we rebuild whole sections of hull, bottom and internal structure with the right reinforcement and resin systems.
Years of water intrusion, a major impact or past repairs that failed can leave large areas of a hull and its internal structure compromised. A structural rebuild removes everything that’s damaged and rebuilds the hull skin, stringers, bulkheads and bottom as one bonded structure — often stronger than the original.
Large damaged areas cut out and rebuilt to full thickness.
When water intrusion, a major impact or failed past repairs have compromised a large area, spot repairs just move the problem around. We survey the hull to find where sound material starts, cut out everything wet, rotted or broken, and rebuild the section with new core and laminate bonded to the surrounding hull, then fair and gelcoat it.

New bulkheads tabbed in to restore stiffness and support.

New structural glass laid up to original or better spec.
Once the damaged material is gone, the strength comes back in the layup. We grind the edges back to a wide taper, then build up new fiberglass layer by layer with the right resin system for the job, bonding and tabbing it to the stringers and bulkheads so the hull works as one structure again.

We inspect the hull, stringers, bulkheads and core to plan the full scope.
Everything wet, rotted or broken is cut out and ground back to solid glass.
New core, stringers, bulkheads and laminate are bonded in as one structure.
The hull is faired, gelcoated and finished ready to go back in the water.
A hull that flexes, cracks or leaks at its structure is past cosmetic work. Rebuilding it properly is the only way to make it safe again.
Real repairs. Real results. A few structural hull rebuilds we’ve completed across Tampa Bay.
Damaged section cut out and rebuilt.
New core and laminate bonded in.
Rebuilt from the inside out and finished.
A structural rebuild starts with a full survey of the hull and everything bonded to it. We strip out all wet, rotted and broken material, then rebuild the core, stringers, bulkheads and hull laminate with marine-grade materials and the right resin system for the job. Every new part is bonded and tabbed into the hull as one structure, then faired and finished.

Based in Largo, Florida, we proudly serve boaters throughout Pinellas County, Tampa Bay and surrounding areas. Our fiberglass repair services are available at our shop or through our fully mobile service.
For a boat with a good engine and a hull you want to keep, a structural rebuild usually costs far less than a comparable replacement boat. We’ll give you an honest assessment.
Often, yes. Modern core and resin systems don’t rot, and we build to original spec or better.
Yes. Stringers, bulkheads and core are part of most rebuilds and are bonded in as one structure.
Yes. Repaired areas are faired, gelcoated to your hull color and polished.
Structural rebuilds are done at our Largo yard, where the boat can be stripped, dried and rebuilt properly.
It depends on the scope — from a few weeks for a section to longer for a full grid and bottom. We give you a schedule with the quote.
Let Captain Levi’s survey the structure and recommend the right repair.
