Author	Topic:   Hole in 1969 Sakonnet
Sherman Mohnike	posted 01-29-2004 10:03 PM ET (US)         I have a crack about 5 inches long in the bottom right were the bottom hits the transom. It is about 16 inches up from the keel and about 1/4 inch wide and was caused by the trailer bunk. The boat has been out of the water for about two months so any water that would drain out already has. I suspect this has been this way for over a year as it was hidden by the bunk. Any repair advice would be appreciated.

I could see only about six inches forward and up to the dry well. Should I try to pump some kind of foam into the hull by drilling a couple of holes in the bottom and squirt foam in untill it comes out the other hole.
