Author	Topic:   help with hull repairs please.
NateTX	posted 07-22-2001 08:32 PM ET (US)         I have just recently inherited an early 70's Boston Whaler Bass Boat, and I am now in the process of fixing the boat up. It has seen alot of use heavier then it was intended for (but what Whaler hasn't?) and the inside of the boat is covered with hairline fractures. The hull itseld seems to be in decent shape, but I would like to fix the small cracks. Could anyone point me in the right direction for places to look and advice? Thanks in advance for any and all help. -Nathan

Costs about $3.00. Provides excellent detail for all types of repairs including holes etc. Am in process of completely restoring a 1962 BW that was painted and the book has been a great help. Lots of work but great fun.
