RW, I would LOVE to know what year it is (can anyone say?)! Title does say Hurricane but at this point I have no doubt it's a Wellcraft. I don't know about the dual console either, I'm a virgin. It's definitely factory in the layout, and was in fact an I/O conversion, beyond that I can't say. As for the tank, I'd just as soon scrap it for the aluminum as anything else, I just wondered if there was a big advantage to keeping it. As to the crack, it is in fact a strake, I mislabeled it. It is definitely through the hull and goes from just ahead of the wheel and is just under four feet in length. I know it's structural and am prepared to tackle that I just want some guidance as to how much I have to build it up/ how far out I have to extend the repair? I'm not sure if you can tell from the pic or not but some dipsh*t put one strip of 2 inch tape on the outside and screwed a PT 1x1 on the inside of the strake! That'll fix it!!!!!! I may be short on experience but I'm not a moron, what was this guy thinking?!!!!

Jed, I would post the structural repair question on a web site called Boat Builder Central out of Florida......they have experts on hand including a boat designer that can show you how to properly fix that large crack step by step with full confidence if you follow what they tell you....and they also sell any materials you would need at great prices....post the damage and see what they say...they also have a ton of other boat builders and repair pics on the site to see how they did their rebuilds....its good information......keep the repair updates coming so we can all check it out.

Since I first came on this site, that's the first HURRICANE I recall seeing...looks like a great layout...well worth fixing up as very unique!!...wish I could help you more w/the technical end on the glass repair...
Looks to be '77 or '78 model... More pics!!...

I can't seem to find one. I looked all around the transom where they seem to usually be. Also checked the console area and can't come up with anything. ???????

sometimes the hull ones are very hard to see\find. Try waxing the rear transom and see of anything shows up. On a previous boat I swore that it didn't have the numbers until I took out a buffer and was waxing it.

Also, they (the makers) are required by law to put the HIN in two places.. one on the right rear top of the transom, the other hidden somewhere else on the boat.. (Usually near the helmsman's seat, under the dash, etc.)
