Bass boat hull damage question

[jedimaster]

Hey, so I hit a rock and split the hull open will add some picture's but the hul is punctured through beside a stringer and the cracks is about 6 feet long, gell coat peeled off as I didn't know there was damage and was wide open for about 10 minutes before the boat filled with water. Made it to shore safely thankfully.

My question is based on this what would you say is a reasonable rate to have it fixed? The boat is a hyrda sport so it's a kevlar/fiberglass hull AFAIK.
And do you think it's possible to repair from the outside enough to run in a tournament then fix it right after?

Sorry man. That sucks.

I wouldn't be in that boat on the water unless literally my life depended on it. Get it fixed professionally before using it. There's no way to tell what additional damage there is to the structure due to flexing, etc.

One look at this picture is enough to second that ^^

Yah its in the hands of insurance right now. Anyone ever had any repair work of this magnitude done?

It's fixable but NOT from the outside only.
