At Sarasota Custom Boatworks, that kind of extensive experience is exactly what we hang our hats on. Certified in all major brands of marine coatings, owner Cliff Jung has more than 30 years experience in the industry, including 15 behind a spray gun, and personally sprays every job - generally one to two boats per week.
We specialize in painting topsides and decks and repairing and refinishing gelcoat, but we also offer a wide range of related services. Additionally, we work closely with skilled partners to seamlessly provide services outside our core capabilities, including engine and mechanical installation, service, and repair; upholstery, canvas, and vinyl; pipework tower and top fabrication and repair; and more.

Services
With more than 15 years of direct experience, painting topsides and decks is our specialty. We paint more boats than anyone in the Sarasota-Manatee County area - generally one to two per week - and we take pride in consistent, high-quality work and competitive prices. If your topsides and/or deck are already painted with a quality marine coating, you're familiar with the advantages.
Let's face it: bottom-painting isn't fun - even for pros with all the right equipment. With two fully equipped facilities, we do the dirty work for you, offering professional quality work on boats ranging from small skiffs to more than 50 feet long, including hard-to-paint pontoons. As a general rule, if you leave your boat in the water for more than about two weeks at a time, it needs bottom paint.
Taken care of properly, good quality gelcoat can last for decades. But when it's neglected, the porous surface is highly susceptible to damage from UV rays, becoming dull, chalky, and gradually thinner. Deteriorating gelcoat is more than a cosmetic issue. In addition to creating an attractive finish over fiberglass, gelcoat also seals the fiberglass laminate.
Fiberglass work is as much an art as it is a science, and experience is critically important. We've seen it all - from holes left by #8 screws to boats broken nearly in half by accidental impacts - and we know how to approach each job. A lot of boat owners think of any sort of hull repair as a fiberglass repair.
