[ksaucerman]

This is my motley crew sponson after a bad blow over. Does anybody have any suggestions how I can fix this huge crack?

well I went ahead and did it with JB waterweld. It came out great

LOL mine has JB Weld, epoxy, bondo, epoxy putty and slow cure CA repairs, welcome to the club!
The last major one was a sponson that split out the outside edge.
Mine is kinda starting to look cool with all the repairs, getting a real rat rod look to it.
I still have boats I built in the 80's, I hope this one lasts a second season!

Can you post some pics of your repais?

Well I thought the jb waterweld was great until on the 2nd run this weekind it tumbled and split apart again even worse than the first time.
Going to use cloth and resin this time will post pictures when done. This hull just isn't strong enough for a blow over on 2200kv and 5s speed. I'm going for that rat rod look that siberianhusky was talking about.

I can get a few 47mph runs in on 4s, so I figure a blow-out at that speed would do some damage as well. I've been pretty lucky as most of mine have happened at slower speeds in choppy weather.
