A new friend of mine was kind enough to give me a cheetah hull that has been crashed. There is a crack along the seam of one of the sponson's. What is the best method to repair the damage? 30 minute epoxy? Fiberglass cloth? I used to repair surfboards when I was younger, so I have some experience With fiberglass repair. Any suggestions would be welcome. Thanks in advance.

A picture of the crack would probably help just to see how bad it is, is it all the way through?

Yes it is all the way through. It is along the seam of the front left sponson. A clean break, no material missing.

This is a great thread on repair, and it's a cheetah hull.

I think if it's clean you can use some CA and re-connect then reinforce from the inside.
