Opps.

That's the second bay boat of that length that had something like this
happening and it also had a hydraulic jack plate and I think a Yamaha
four stroke.

Just looking at the pictures, it looks serious, but I believe that
Nauticstar uses the same extruded glass technique as Ranger does - so
it may be just a pocket foam situation rather than a stringer.

Interesting all the same.

Well, every method of boatbuilding can encounter boo-boos, but the two
piece hull method offers little but cheapness.

Molding a bottom half of a boat and a top half of a boat and glueing
them together with Plexus saves a lot of labor and weight, and sometimes
it works well and sometimes it doesn't. Sure makes it easy to hide
defects, though.

I kinda like boats that are handbuilt. You know, the kind where the hull
is laid up by hand, and sits in the mold for a week, and then real
stringers are glassed into the hull using box grid construction. And
then a deck is glassed over that, and then the top cap of gunnels is
glassed onto the hull.

Gosh, I wonder who builds boats like that? :}

I dont know, but I do know of a mfr. that is so proud of their work that
they don't finish it off with an inner liner. :-))

Holy Crap! That does not look random to me, that is a design problem
in my opinon. It looks like they tried to cheap out on labor by using
a chopper gun (strands and resin) for structural fillets! That is just
unbefrekinleavable. No mat, not cloth, no structure, Holy Crap!! They
may as well have used scotch tape. I admit to little knowledge of big
poly boats, but I know a little about glass and resin, more apparently
than the engineers over at Nautic Star...

Well if it's extruded then my last post is off base, but if it is, why
would it tear so straight? Anyway, if it's extruded, maybe I should
bin my last post.

Wow...I'd be PLENTY ****ed. There doesn't appear to be any mat or
chopper string in the joint at all. In fact, it looks like the
stringer/hull joint was smeared with some slimy goop to cover the joint.
Clearly this is a bonded hull, where some idiot forgot to, uh, bond it.
Wonder about defects in the bond you can't see. It would be interesting
to take it out in some 3 ft chop and see how long it takes for the
engine to come off.

Makes you wonder what other horrors are hidden under those thin inner
skins, eh?
