From what I've read ABS = Royalex (see suggested remedy below)

Does anyone know what those little pontoon type two man bass boats are
made of and how to patch them? Everybody who knows me thinks I know
everything about fixing boats but I don't. My brother dumped his little
Stalker off in my yard and thinks I can patch his cracked transom. I
think it is ABS. I gotta do something with it before it kills the grass.

Im a plastics engineer by trade and yes you are correct almost no glue will
adhere to HDPE or PP (polypropolene) do you know which one it is ?


When I was an Old Town dealer they had a repair kit for their royalex canoes
that adhered very well. Know of some that were patched 15 yrs ago & still
holding fine. They had color matched goo in there that stayed put after you
prepped the area well with abrasive & solvent.
