Commercial Gelcoat Peeler: Moverbo

[Gelcoat Repair]

Hello,
I'm looking for some more information on a Moverbo Gelcoat Peeler. Does anyone on here know much about these? Looking for any manuals, parts catalogs etc. Even using AI I'm struggling to find much information on it. I'm thinking I might have bought something too specialized.... Thanks for your help!

See if GW knows anything. He is an old industry pro in the GC world.

I saw this when it was first posted, I don't have any information on it. Most of the parts are probably off the shelf stuff, and could probably be sourced from Grainger at the time, with a few odds and ends being custom made.

Blister repair specialists came and went, and so did the equipment. As boat building materials and processes improved there was less need for that type of specialty equipment.

Appreciate the reply, any ideas on where to find more information on it? I was looking to unload it but have no idea who to target/who'd be interested in it.

There is probably little to no information available because it was long before the internet and the number sold was probably small. I'd say most people that have used one are probably retired out of the industry by now.

The possible buyers would be large repair shops right on the water. But since it was used mostly for blister repair, and that market has gotten much smaller over the years, finding a buyer wouldn't be easy.

There might be someone out there that has a dream of renovating one of the many old hulls that litter some areas and would buy it, but again, it's a small market to target.
