    Small crack in fiberglass hull with stains

    Lol....if the cartel had this boat it might worth looking under the floor deck:) Great replies! The boat has been out of water for 2 years straight and in storage. Bone dry right now. I know water has gotten into the hull at one time. I'm not trying to save this boat's life, but since...

    Small crack in fiberglass hull with stains

    Agreed. Just using this beat up boat for the summer. Getting some money later in the year at which point I might take this thing apart for the experience and fun of it or just donate it. I'll be buying a new used boat this fall or winter. Just want to practice some repair work here...

    Small crack in fiberglass hull with stains

    Hey everyone, What is the best way to repair this? And CHEAPEST way to restore my hull cosmetically? ( i mean like new paint job white and shiny) Everything in and around this is solid and nothing seems soft or weak. I'm only interested in repairing this the easy way, not tearing up my floor...

    I appreciate the concern for the boat. I was already convinced by earlier responses not to go through with any major project with this boat. I paid $400 for the boat. It floats and inside stays dry while on the water all weekend. I can fish 👍 gonna keep it up for sale until it goes. Just...

    I never said the floor was rotten, its cracked. I cut out a square of the floor and it's dry under there. So yes....or no, I won't be addressing anything under the floor. Just going to repair the cutout I made. I can't see evidence of any rot and there really isn't anything I can do about it...

    Okay...so I looked more closely to the cracked floor. It's a new crack from my last season and not any water damage underneath that I can see. It's pretty dry since the bow covers it and it would only have been snow and rain water that could have gotten in there anyway. Pretty...

    I'm definitely thinking it won't hold my weight without a deck. I'm thinking a small lightwieght deck that I can temporarily fasten to the top with a carpeted bottom so it doesnt scratch the boat. Mostly just to put ice chest and gear when we're sleeping.. We spend 18-24 hrs at a time on the...

    Ack! OK. I talked to some boat body shops too. This will take longer than expected. I need the boat to fish this season so I guess I'll just do the floor repair and new steering. Use the boat to fish this season. Maybe I can build a temporary deck that sits on top of bow just for this...

    I would love to buy a bass boat but I don't have that much cash on hand. This is my $400 boat and it's gonna be for a while I think lol I was hoping to provide that support back through a raised deck design. Although not sure how until I think it through and draw up plans for the deck. I have...

    Hello, This is my first forum post ever. I'm going to add a fishing deck and live well to the front of my 14' boat. I've reviewed other similar projects and I think my buddy and I have the skill set to get this done. Hoping to get this done about 3 or 4 weeks time and i have about a grand...
