Need Livingston Repair Suggestions

[WN2712NJ]

We just acquired a very cheap, very used 10ft Livingston (a twin hulled fiberglass dinghy very popular in these parts). It has a couple of areas needing fiberglass repairs, and I'm looking for suggestions on materials,techniques, etc.

Thanks in advance,

These boats have very thin hulls and the keel will wear through quickly if they get beached very often.


Read up on doing fiberglass here on iboats, you will most likely have more questions after that, so ask away.

On mine I put down several more layers of glass along the keel of each hull for added strength and wear resistance.
