I have been boating for a while now and have since I was a little kid. Well I bought a Horizon 240 and was able to finally take it out today. Well while we were out it got really crappy out and began to get very very windy. Well to make a long story short docking the boat made extremly difficult with the wind and large waves. On the only point on the dock while docking the boat I put a nice up and down scratch in the boat. While I know that there is not really a way to get it out is there anything that will help clean it and take car of it to make it not look as noticeable??

Thanks Leroy

Don't sweat the scratch. They are a fact of using your boat. As to making it less apparent, color of the gelcoat? How deep is the scratch?

This is the second year for my boat and it gets scratches bad in the red. We tie-up every weekend and party hard on it. I get it buffed out during the winter.

I talked to a guy that will buff the entire boat for like $300 so I'm going to do that.
