1966 Mandella Fiberglass cracking

[Gregg David]

Hi Guys
New member here looking for some help
I have a 1966 Mandella Rear engine V Drive boat that has massave ammounts of cracks in the fiberglass, I have sanded the boat down in the cracking area, the cracks are in the fiberglass, I do not think that the cracks are stress related i belive that there are from age and sitting in the sun, the cracks seam to be on the entire top surface, the vertical services and the bottom don't seam to be cracking, the sides from the drivers area back are rounded not vertical the upper half of the rounded sides are cracked also, the cracks seam to go down to the wood, there are to many cracks to repair by v-ing out the area and reglassing, I think I might have to reglass the upper half of the boat, any help out there

Thanks Gregg

You mean it is crazing? Little cracks not all the way through? White? Clean it, mix some yellow in marine tex.
