Im new to this forum and also new to boating. I have a 14ft bassboat with a 9.5HP Johnson and a 13ft Okamoto with a 7.5HP Elgin. The guy I bought the bass boat from said the last time he ran it was in 96 or so. I havent even tried to run the motor yet since Im not sure on doing so. I only played with the old Elgin 2 stroke which keeps breaking down on me everytime I take it out. I plan on servicing both of them when I have the time. Anyways my problem right now is with the 14ft bass. It looks to me like foam covered in fiberglass. It has a crack on the inside almost from side to side. The outside seems to be in decent condition just bent up a little like this ^ but not as sharp. I already bought a fiberglass repair kit off ebay. What im wondering is should i add foam in the crack or go straight into using the fiberglass to repair. Also do anyone know of any cheap inflatable repair shops around the Los Angeles area. Im getting sick of trying to patch that POS. All comments/advice welcomed. Thanks
