Sorry to hear that , kracker. I know you had a lot of heart & soul in that build. You know these hulls as well as anyone, what do you think happened? Was it where the stringers where tabbed to the hull? Need you to go CSI on this one.
I know where there is a cuddy hull down here for a $100 |

Well I have really good news basically the damage was not from the stringer. The stringer and stringer pockets are solid as a rock. The delaminating wascaused by factory voids under the gelcoat and first couple layers of the chopped glass they shots in these boats. I guess mine was built on a Friday because they never rolled the wet glass out after shooting it in the boat creating these voids. I’m gonna start a thread showing the damage and also some of my findings after inspecting the bottom for other voids. The boat lives! It’s a blessing
