It has a happy ending. After the repair the boat hull was good as new, and I used it for 3 more years before trading up.
To complete the story, that boat seemed to have the "made on Friday" syndrome. Some parts of the boat were real good quality, and other parts were real low quality. i.e. the deck was coated with a chop gun. The front section had lots of chop and resin. The stern section was just resin. I had to repair that.
On the good side, SeaRay had a layer of cloth over the floatation foam, under the plywood deck and put blocks of Mahogany under the glass with tee nuts and studs to hold the seats. Interesting design, and I never had an issue with that.
The ski well sides rotted out as did the unsealed perimeter of the well in the floor. A quick brush of resin on the raw plywood edge of the ski well where they trimmed it, would have fixed that for some more years.
The ski well floor had nice glass cloth with a gel finish. It delaminated pretty quickly. This causing the scribed plywood keel under the ski well floor's staples to rust away, allowing the keel to fall over. The hull deformed when I jacked it up for painting.
So some real good and some read shoddy stuff.
