It was actually your fix that inspired me to fix mine cause I was not gonna fix it my main issue is that the hull was reinforced with fiber glass already. But then it hit a foam bouy at full speed and cracked the glass on the inside. So I had to remove that old stuff first (keep the weight down) Which got nasty and some of the carbon Kevlar came out, currently removing a lot of it and it's holding me up. Plus I can't get some o the old fiber glass out in the front. Any suggestions?

Also how do you blue print the sponsors cause when I put the hull on a flat surfaces and push on the corner and it would chatter. My guess is that one sponson is off and needs leveling out. What to do?

In the first picture i removed almost all of my black paint and gel coat i'm not sure if i should remove the rest of the gel coat. In the second it shows the inside of the sponson where i removed most of the carbon kevlar. I have to finish removing the kevlar so it stops fraying and put in a layer of fiber glass and carbon fiber,beef up the hull. I haven't fixed the crack yet cause i dont have the time (school sucks).

I repaired all the holes in the hull and z poxied the crack. All I have to do is reinforce the hull and fix the slight ups and downs from my uneven sanding in the gel coat.

Sorry I missed your questions. Looks good!

I prefer bondo over spot putty. Guy at paint shop said spot putty is basically thick cheap primer.

Look what I found knocking around in my garage I finished the repair a while ago it's really solid, but now I need to get the entire thing leveled out as the gel coat was sanded down really badly in some places. Its been years. IMG_20191110_192902947.jpgIMG_20191110_192944017.jpgIMG_20191110_193000641.jpgIMG_20191110_193013191.jpg

Haven't done much to the hull recently gonna get it running in 2020. I already figured out my setup, but in the meantime can you guys direct me on how to blueprint the ridepads the boat rocks on a flat surface. Actually can you guys help me figure out how to level the entire tunnel? It's all kinds of uneven. Would west system light weight marine filler work or should i use Marine Tex?IMG_20191229_203953418.jpgIMG_20191229_204003114.jpg
