    Default Hull Cracks

    Just wandering if any of you guys have had the hull start cracking on you from runnig it on rough water? It's cracking on the bottom side, where the battery trays mount in the interior. How should a person remedy this, or should I be worried?

    Is the glass cracking or just the gel coat?? Do you have pics?
    You could line the floor with carbon for reinforcement.

    It actually might be just the gel coat cause I don't see anything on the inside of the boat. I'll try to post some pics. Where would I find some catbon fiber to line the inside?

    Your local hobby shop should have some. Or you could post a "Wanted" thread in our swap shop.
