    Did a walkaround, shot some damages, suggestions?

    I think Marine Tex will work for most if not all of this. Let me know what you guys think please.






    This crack seems to only be in the gelcoat but runs the entire length on both sides.

    Just to prove that my boat is a KAJUN ;)

    I'm not sure you'll want to use marine tex on that last picture.
    Maybe some crisco.

    I'm no structural engineer but that crack in the hull would concern me. I'm sure someone on here would know.

    Good Luck

    Most of those repairs are probably beyond the scope of Marintex. I would think some fiberglass and cloth would be a better option instead. I would also look into those cracks along the bottom of the boat a little more. I bet you find rotten stringers.

    Marine tex will work fine, none of these are structural. The only time mat and resin is needed is when there are structural issues. These are just cosmetic, they need to be filled and sealed which is what Marine tex is for. The cracks running the length of the hull however are a different story, they could be symptoms of rotten stringers. The biggest concern on this project to me would be wether the wood checks out or not. If so marine tex will take care of the other issues.
