    Exclamation Cracks in the Hull

    I was cleaning my Rio and I noticed that there are some cracks on the underside near the trim tabs at the rear of the boat. It looks like they could have been created by applying too much pressure to the hull when adjusting the tabs. Was wondering what kind of product I should use to repair these. I don't want water getting inside the hull as I run in brackish water.

    There is plenty plastic specific epoxy and super glue out there. I would first use thin superglue for the crack and then put piece of 1 oz fiberglass or carbon fiber over that. I am going to put fiberglass over whole hull because is very cheaply made.
