Behold It Is Boating Season
If you’re like the people of our home state of Minnesota, you like your boats. Boating is a family and friends activity that is shared worldwide and due to COVID-19; it has been partially on hold for many boat owners. Restrictions on public docks and slips and as well as the availability of boat repair shops have slowed down the process of hitting the water.
Many people who have private docks or the ability to put in someplace have had the lake itch and went out as soon as humanly possible. And after slathering on sunscreen, packing up your clothing and water gear, the last thing you want to encounter at the dock is a problem with your boat that puts the family fun on hold.
But, if you’re one of the 12 million registered boat owners in the United States, then you know there’s a price to relaxing on the water. Boats require frequent maintenance and upkeep. Most boat owners find that annual maintenance costs add up to about 10 percent of the cost of the boat.
Upholstery maintenance
In addition to the boat’s engine and electrical components, one of the top items to maintain on any watercraft is the canvas and upholstery. Color Glo International offers on-site repair services for a quick and convenient solution to get you out of the marina and back on the water.
High-stress areas
One area of the boat that often gets overlooked is that back seat section or rear of the boat. It really depends what you use your boat for, but if recreation is its purpose then you are the target customer for repair services in this area. People stepping on the back seats and rear deck after tubing, water skiing or cock-tailing on floaties can cause serious wear and tear. Stepping on cushions can cause a lot of direct stress to the seat and its coating. You just might find them to be cracked and in need of repair right now as you are sliding into the lake.
Damage by winter visitors
It’s possible you haven’t noticed more hidden damage. Mice are an issue we are finding regularity with our boat owners. And though mice can literally chew through wires, harnesses, tubing and other important electrical elements, the most common issue we find after winter storage is damage to cushions. They find their way into the filling and take up residence for the colder months leaving you with, well... expense.
Though it will really depend on the peice and the damage, but generally speaking a Color Glo restoration specialist can bring your marine leather, vinyl and cushion back to life for 70% - 90% cheaper than buying new. And we come to you!

Sun-fading
The sun can damage and fade your boat’s upholstery, making it look worn and tired. CGI Specialists are trained to expertly repair and re-dye tears. They can fix holes, scuffs and scratches too, even cigarette burns, punctures and more. Their restoration techniques can refresh the appearance of your boat and make it look like it did when you first set sail.
