Assess Damage to 1968 13-footer
Posted: Sat Mar 27, 2021 11:15 pm
Please give me some feedback on the extent of the damage you can see in the 1968 13-footer shown in Figures 1 to 8:
BACK STORY: I know nothing about the extent of the damage to this boat. I am handy and confident to do basic cosmetic work including fibreglassing and painting, but I am not interested in doing structural transom replacements of the like. I went over the boat and looked for de-lamination on the hull or soft spots, or unusual sounds, but to my untrained ears and hands, all seemed solid.
