1989 bass tracker hull crack repair???

[claytonhaske]

hello, i have a 1989 bass tracker pro 17 and it very slowly takes on water through a small crack in the hull on the underside of the boat. it is about 4" long and it runs through some rivets. i read somewhere that this is a common problem with these older bass trackers. so if i couuld get some advice as in how to repair it, that would be great. thanks, clayton

Do you have access to the Crack from the Inside of the Boat?

i will have access in about a month, when i redo the carpeting. i want to get all the stuff to do it, so when i go on vacation and i have time to do it, i will be prepared to get it done.
