Possible Hull Crack
Posted: Fri Aug 07, 2020 3:20 pm
Cleaning the boat a few days back I believe I found a hull crack. I don't seen any evidence of it on the outer surface of the hull yet but in this picture it looks to have extended a few inches out from the starboard bench.
My first reflex is to lightly grind down (what's left of) the paint around it, gently v-score the length of the crack, and cover it with a thin fiberglass patch. Does anyone have any advice on this kind of repair? I'm especially interested in making sure that the crack doesn't expand.
Thanks in advance.
