Captain Levi’s specializes in fiberglass boat restoration. Whether it’s a cosmetic restoration to bring shine back to a faded hull, or a complete rebuild after fire, hurricane damage, or years of neglect, Captain Dave and Levi have the knowledge and experience to make it seaworthy and beautiful again.

Older fiberglass boats and classic boats often need:

• Resin and gelcoat restoration to reverse oxidation and chalking.
• Structural restoration including bulkhead and stringer replacement.
• Transom recoring or replacement.
• Deck restoration, delamination repair, and nonskid renewal.
• Cosmetic detailing and refinishing to restore like‑new appearance.
• Classic model preservation and modernization, keeping timeless hull lines while strengthening cores, restoring gelcoat, and adding updated systems when desired.

Captain Levi’s restores legendary fiberglass models such as:

• Bertram
• Hatteras
• Chris‑Craft Commander
• SeaCraft
• Boston Whaler
• Grady‑White
• Pursuit
• Mako
• Egg Harbor
• Other classic sportfishers, offshore race hulls, and vintage Florida skiffs

Using the same laminating methods and composite materials as original builds, or superior systems like vinyl ester and epoxy, Captain Levi’s performs restorations that are often stronger and longer‑lasting than factory construction.

Our cosmetic boat restoration services include:

• Color‑matching and spraying gelcoat.
• Long‑board sanding for fair hull lines.
• Wet‑sanding from 400 to 2000 grit.
• Buffing and polishing with AQUABUFF compounds.
• Complete detailing — topsides, decks, and brightwork.

From small skiffs to classic Bertrams, Hatteras sportfishers, and offshore yachts, fire‑damaged hulls to storm‑damaged vessels, Dave and Levi restore fiberglass boats to their proper beauty and strength.

Based in Largo, Florida, Captain Levi’s provides both shop restorations and mobile fiberglass restoration services throughout Pinellas County, Tampa Bay, and surrounding waters.
