This is a 2" crack directly on my keel. My two neighbors, who have owned/operated boats for years, came over and opened it up maybe a 1/4" to confirm it was not any bigger, tapped on the hull, and it sounds solid. They both recommended a product called Marine-Tex. Meanwhile, I have an appt next week with the man who bottom coated it 2 years ago who said he can test it with a x-ray like device to check the hull and give me a price. The boat has been in a dry slip for months and I know that it's completely dry in the crack.
Suggestions? Should I try to DIY with the help of my neighbors. One of them owned boats on Lake Michigan for years, the other head of the marine division of Lee County, FL, sheriff's dept.
