Assess Structureal Integrity of Unibond Hull After Unusual Repair
Posted: Thu Nov 06, 2025 5:26 pm
Q1: can a Unibond hull be repaired by removing the foam from the interior of the hull, then "tab" the shell [of the hull] from the outside, then cut access from the deck, and tab from the inside of the hull?
Q2: is a Unibond hull that has been subjected to the above repair method an un-compromised structure?

For a winter project I found a 1975 [unidentified model and unidentified length] Boston Whaler boat [listed for sale on-line] with a trailer for $200 that clearly has significant hull problems. The seller mentioned he has the pieces of the hull that he cut out.
