Yes, this is where the cap(top section of the boat) meets the hull. Wellcraft had some kind of putty in between, then a plastic cap to look nice. This is the number one cuase of water intrusion(thank god my transom looks and feels solid), so what i did was removed tha putty, filled with resin and chopped glass, smoothed with epoxy filler(west system 407), then apply glass. I just finished doing that actually. I will post some pics later.
