Angry Unfortunate Incident

Because the rent for the slip I'd been renting for the past several years increased to $2800, I decided to have my boat "racked" at one of the local marinas.
I brought it to them in May when I got it out of winter storage and because of a "communications" error, the boat remained tied to the dock for several days or longer and suffered some pretty serious damage to its starboard side. I was told by the yard manager and the owner that it would be taken care of.
The boat is a 2002 Four Winns 24' Horizon, black on white.
They "took care" of it by wet sanding the side right through the clear gelcoat and, to say the least, the job is far from acceptable. I am awaiting a call from the service manager or the owner to discuss my dissatisfaction with their repair. The sanded portion ( the entire starboard side ) will certainly fade and oxidize and severely impacts the value of the boat now and at trade in time.
Worst case scenario: The marina tells me to take a hike and I put in a claim against my insurance company and "eat" the $250 deductable. I have already discussed the situation with them ) My insuranance company settles with their insurance company and get my $250 back. I have the side of the boat restored.
Best case scenario: The marina agrees to satisfactorily restore the damaged portion of the boat.
My question is this: Who in the area has the best reputation for gelcoat repair ? I have a trailer and can transport away from the lake if necessary.
I would appreciate any and all recommendations.
Thanks
