Chips in fiberglass-

[Msp381]

I’m looking at a 226 that is for sale that has (3) nicks in glass. As you can see in the pics, is this something to stay away from? Thanks

That would not bother me - I had a few this week I took care of with a gel coat repair kit. I can't tell from the pic but it looks like they are inside the boat?

I forgot to mention they are outside of hull below waterline.

Don't worry about the "below waterline" location. It appears to me that those chips were done with a hard object being struck against the hull. It would not bother me if the boat was otherwise acceptable. Easily repaired to be unnoticeable.

Thanks. The boat is spotless other than nicks.

Easy fix with a product like MarineTex and a gel coat touch up kit.
