Title: Cracked hull
Post by: gumbyglass on April 17, 2011, 08:51:59 AM

i am looking at buy another boat, but this one is a little different. its a 110 mph speed boat. its a 454 built to a 468, dual 650 holleys and it once had nitros on it. so, now to my question: according to the owner there is a crack from where the boat lifted up and came down on the bow so hard that there is a 10inch crack in it. can the hull be repaired???

all hull's can be repaired, is it worth it? depends on what kind of hull. that mph is so hard to get out of a jet i am sceptical ???

what kind of hull? and lets see pics of the crack
