I have a Wake tower on my 1997 Chaparral 180 and I've got some spider cracking around the wake tower brackets (4 of them). I noticed on the inside of my hull that whoever installed the tower did not put any backing plates to reinforce the hull when it clearly needed them. I plan to use some metal flat (3/4 inch) as well as a rubber backing to reinforce the inside of the hull. That being said I have two questions:
1. What material should I use to fix the gel coat spider cracks? How to? I've read up a bit but just wanted to see if anyone has any hands on experience with this. I know their are a lot of products out there. Has anyone done the same. How is it holding up?
2. What's the best material to use to go on the inside of my backing plates that will sit against the hull? Some kind of tough rubber.
Thanks!
