DIY Fiberglass Supplies and Tools

If you are on this page, then you are probably working on your own DIY Marine project. If you need supplies, what better place to buy them than from a source that also helps you with that project. Your purchase here at Backyard Boatworks helps fund the continued growth of my videos and social media content.

My Story

I started this journey of learning fiberglass repair about four years ago after I decided to purchase a 37' Silverton Powerboat with grand plans to live on it full-time with my girlfriend. I've never been one to hire anyone for anything, so what started as a small DIY project turned into an obsession to expand the skills I learned from my father growing up building custom cars & bikes. Fast forward to today and fiberglass work has become my full-time job and I enjoy sharing all the tips & tricks I have learned with all of my YouTube and Instagram followers. I hope I can fuel your passion to take on the next big or small project.
