		<description><![CDATA[If you have a fiberglass boat, chances are you will be needing repair done at some point.

		<description><![CDATA[When your gelcoat finally gives up the ship, it is time to revive the finish. The best way to accomplish this is with Awlgrip or Alexseal marine paints &#8211; which is the marine industry standard for refinishing work.

From a distance almost all boats are beautiful. As you begin to approach the boat you notice the difference between a well-maintained boat and an average or neglected boat. [...]]]></description>
