I just bought my first boat. Its a 1969 15' Boston Whaler. The hull has a few splits and cracks in the fiberglass inside that I am trying to fix but have no clue what to use on it. Im trying to find the cheapest, but most reliable way to fix it. I was thinking auto body filler unless you guys can recommend something better. I attached pictures to give you an idea of what I'm working with. Thanks in advanced for the help.

Re: Fixing Fiberglass Cracks

Kinda hard to tell from the pics what you have there. Bondo is right out. It's not
all that water proof or structural.
Get some Marine Tex or one of the many epoxies out there that can be thickened. There are about a million threads here on the subject.
search: marine epoxy
West System
System Three
Clark Craft
These are just a FEW examples.
Good luck GH
