Hi all,
A couple of questions before I dive headfirst into the empty pool. I aquired this clean machine about a year ago and havent done anything with it due to cash flow. Im still not flowing, but I'd like to start in on this project. First and foremost are the stress cracks Ive seen on the hull. I know there is bad balsa in the foredeck and bridge deck which doesnt turn me off, but I have a few spider cracks along the bottom at a few spots along the outboard strake and a couple along the side at the chine. Is this abnormal or should it be handled as othe sprider cracks and routered out and filled? lots more questions coming....
I cleaned the antifouling paint off of a section of the bottom to get a better look at the cracks and I found that the cracks in the gel coat werent as bad as I thought, but I found that there is some "alligator" cracking along the strake. Does anybody have feedback on this?
