You have hair line cracks in the hull? You mean, you have cracks in the gel coat. This should be fixed by somebody with a lot of experience spraying gel coat. Call Dustin at Menice, he'll get it handled for you or refer you to the guy that does it for him, Poncho.

Really guys here is a new guy coming to a boating site asking for help and this is what he gets. Tap24 it would be helpful if you posted a couple pictures of what you have going and where it,s going on. Depending on where the cracks are and if they are structual or cosmetic will determine what type of materials and if it is something you would want to take on yourself. I'll keep a eye open for your post I am on here most am,s about this time. Oh and Welcome to the site You might want to repost this in a different section

I would have it checked to make sure they are not stress cracks. That's much more serious than cosmetic gel cracks.

I had a Galaxie years ago that had cracks at the planning strakes on both sides. The boat started taking on water. It was a total loss. A blessing in disguise really. Ended up getting a beautiful and rock solid 21' Rogers Daycruiser after that. Wish I would have kept the Rogers.

Anytime you have ANY cracks below the water line, they need your attention.
Most stress cracks appear in the deck area.

Saw the cracks months before it started leaking. I thought they were stress cracks, technically I guess they were. But after that on a Holiday weekend in Parker it pretty much finished the boat off. Really started taking on water after that. Guess I was lucky nothing really bad happened.

That's not good

I would take a quarter and tap every inch of the bottom of that boat. Listen for soft spots (thud sound) which hopefully you will not find. If you do, you'll need to grind out and repair those areas.

To be totally honest with you that looks like a get a new boat type of problem. Not that it can't be fixed. Anything can be fixed. But to fix it right it will need to be repaired from both sides and then supports put in or fixed to prevent it from happening again. It's probably under the floor which means not only does the boat have to come off the trailer but at least a section of the floor and carpet will need to be replaced. This adds up to a lot of labor. Like I said. It can be fixed. But is it worth it on this particular boat? Also keep in mind I am going off one small picture. It may be easier to fix then it looks but it is certainly something that needs attention before this boat sees water again.

Worst part of that picture is you can't tell if and how far it extends over the bunks.
But I sure wouldn't run that thing again until some QUALIFIED has looked at it. That is NOT a hairline crack, it is structural

[tapout24]

Well I got fucked over on this trade for this boat the guy came out that dose fiber glass work and he said its really bad and he found more on the other side he said its gonna coast 2500 to fix it and 3000 if I want carpet because he has to take it all out .I have no fucking clue what to do is this boat really worth it ? Should I find a shell and get a motor swap the motor is good in my boat

You might get him to swing by on a day he's in the area. He came to Upland to work on my boat before.... call and ask him.
