Reply With QuoteNice looking hull. It looks kinda cool with everything out of it!
Yesterday I tore down my Cole so I can redo some things, and kept finding things I wanted to fix. I found some little stress fractures where the left stringer meets the floor back where the engine sits. They are only on the outside of the stringer, none in the bilge area. They look to be about 1-2 inches long and they look like the resin cracked. No matting is torn, and everything is very very solid. Do I need to get these repaired, or do all boats get them? I need an educated answer please.

And then theres this lone little stress fracture all by itself about a fot away from the others. Its about 6-8 inches long, and again looks like just the resin cracked, but should I do something about it or leave it?

then theres this little gem, I know this needs repair. You can see the crack in the center bottom, and there are two cracks at the top on each side. The glass and wood are broken, but the hull is sound. Do I need to cut this whole piece out and glass a new one in, or can I cut pieces of wood, and brace the fractures and glass them in?? This piece is one foot forward of where your feet go.

That thing would be kick-ass hanging on the wall in the garage. Or better yet, a killer sandbox......

That is very minor Just keep an eye on it. All boats get them. You should see a circle boat just before its retired. thats trashed lol

Josh, where are you at? Is this pig back together yet? Post some pics!
I would fix the bulkhead. Take the whole thing out and replace. I did mine last year, she broke on some wakes. Boat feels much better now.
Hey are you going to have that boat back together for this season?
What are your plans for it? Motor ?
Good luck
