so here's where im at... some fiberglass damage is found on the side of the boat. at a quick glance it looks like at least 2 layers of cloth were burned... you can see the brown in behind them which is solid fiberglass. im gonna cut out the bad stuff and grind/sand a little and see just how far the damage goes. then it comes down to laying up some new glass to build that section back up. its interesting in that the areas where the carpet was, were NOT burned. it mustve acted like an insulator. theres also a layer of tape that goes across the cap joint on the inside that is all frayed and burned. so its just grinding, sanding, and getting back to good glass and seeing how much i need to build back up.
you can see the brown good layer in behind the burned... this is the tape going across the cap.
a layer of cloth burned, again... brown in behind it... hopefully its still in good shape.
