Hey everybody, I'm super new here and to the world of fiber glass repair... Any way, I have a 1982 Allison XST 17 which was my late grandfathers boat. Before I got the boat it went to his step son which has questionable morals and habits... long story short he hit something with the boat and it did some damage as. I have has the boat a few years. I used it a few times before I discovered the leak. They had covered it with silicone right before i got it and it actually hid the issue very VERY well. The boat has sat for a year, but i have kept it parked where it can drain and it has never really held water over the last year. I started chipping away at loose fiber glass and it appears at the tail it has released from the plywood as shown in the pictures. Its not a really large area but the wood seems soggy and damp from where it must have held moisture. it still sounds pretty solid when i tap on it tho.. I would really like to fix this boat and keep using it as the rest of it is in really really good condition and i spent alot of time on this boat as a small child. I now have a daughter of my own and would love for her to fish with me on this boat.. Sorry for the post being all over the place.. but any idea how i should go about this repair? Any advice? Thank you everybody I really look forward to learning a new skill and hearing from all of you!
