Fiberglass Mounts

I was looking on e-bay at getting a 30 in mahi mahi fish mount. It is a full fiberglass mount. Is it possible to have it repainting I know nothing on this. What would it cost.

Most guys charge $18 - $22 per inch for repros. If you buy one off ebay, you never know the quality that you are getting until it gets to you. And by then......

I know that is what is stoping me from getting one. One that I was looking at the yellow was not the bright yellow like the ones we cought so I was woundering if I would get it can it be repainted and how much

Yes, they can be repainted. Prices will vary greatly from shop to shop.

The dolphin , Dorado Mahi mahi, is like a cameleon, colors will swing from one extreme to the next.
But I do agree that the ones on ebay are terrible.

By the way I have several molds of Dolphins for sale, not the mount but the negative molds to make replicas.

Smallest I got left is around 55", I'll take $150 , you can make several thousand replicas from it
I have a 62 and a 65" at one time world record huge bull, made from a 75 LBS fish.
