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.Quote:

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.Quote:

Anytime you have ANY cracks below the water line, they need your attention.Quote:

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.Quote:

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.
Will do thank uQuote:

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.Quote:
