crack in keel of an '86 Forester fiberglass boat
Hi folks:
I just purchased a used fiberglass boat and noticed a 12 inch long crack that runs along the keel of this boat. While investigating the area, it looks like the damage was caused by loading this boat onto its trailer and hitting a roller a bit too hard. This has also created a soft spot in the middle of this long crack. I'm wondering if somebody can share with me a step by step procedure of how I should repair this? Also, when trying to see the damage from inside the boat, I noticed there's an elevated layer of fiberglass (maybe 3 inches) above the area of the damage. If I was to try to repair this from inside the hull, it looks like I would need to somehow cut into this elevated layer. Thanks for your help! Clark |
