    LOL EGNEG !!!, a mean barracuda look did cross my mind !
    Ill let my 10 year old have a go...


    785boats, The colour wouldnt have to match, could mask it diagonally and paint a black nose, might look good...

    But dont have a clue which paint to use in order to match aquacraft the gel coat finish.

    Maybe I shouldnt worry about that yet and try to fix it first...

    Since the shape of the nose is reasonably retained I was thinking of :

    * Masking the nose till the I get to the portion of the hull that is still in tact.
    * Getting rid of the paint...
    * Taping the front half of the damaged part of the nose to hold everything together and epoxy the other half
    * Then remove the tape and epoxy the rest.
    * Sand & paint...

    Will this work ?

      While not an easy repair ... with patience and elbow grease it shouldn't look too bad!

      As a reference take a look at Darin's repairing of his Oberto 1991. While not the same materials certainly the same procedures can be followed but with the right materials!

      Again take your time and don't rush it!

      His thread is under boat building titled " repairing the Oberto 1991 1/10th scale
      We did it with a Bang!
