I own a 1992 23 walkaround. Two years ago de lamination was found in the hull bottom. Before anyone asks I didn't get a survey. My fault. I have talked at length with the previous owner and he feels it was before him too. At any rate the repair was done by a reputable glass shop . They put big heat lamps and vacuum lines in to draw out water. Any bad foam was replaced and then the hull was glassed. The original site was about five to six feet in length by about four feet. When the boat was returned I inspected the bottom closely and found another area of concern. Back it went to the glass shop. It was determined that this area was the cause of the other area de laminating and their thoughts were that the owner hit something and then covered it with epoxy and bottom paint. It was well hidden,but again my mistake for no survey. I had this other area repaired as well. Another spot was found as my boat was being prepped for launch. It is adjacent to the second repair. Water was dripping from the hull and the glass felt soft. My concern is if I get this area repaired will another show itself down the road. Would I be better off walking away from the hull and selling the engines which are new with only 124 hours on them.
