So the boat on the mooring ahead of me got too close and caused some gouges in my gel coat (to say I am not pleased would be a major understatement). Should I give my boat to a professional to repair it or is it something I can pull off? I want it to look perfect and don't want to screw it up. My hull color is Sand Shark and I do have the touch up paint for it. Any advice/tips are greatly appreciated!!

Man that really sucks, sorry to hear. But given gelcoats age and color it is going to be difficult if not impossible to make it look absolutely perfect. Your best bet IMO if that it what you're after then higher a pro that can mix the color to match as best he can.

X2 on the pro. As a kid I repaired surfboards, but no one expected the patch to match the surfboard and it was almost a rite of passage to have obvious dings. Altogether different with boats.
I've had several repaired by pros and none of them were my fault. Guy I hired to bring the boat from Georgia failed to set up the bunks correctly and twice the boatel lift driver (different guys) dinged the keel. Good news was I never had to pay for any of the repairs and the colors were always good. And, the boatel redesigned the bunks so they shouldn't damage the boat anymore. Guess they figured that was cheaper than having to repair my boat so often.
