yeap me too. I heard of cracks in a 29ol inside stringer back then. and after 19yrs I need a bulkhead replacement, behind the seat, I figure I TOOK IT OUT SO MANY TIMES PLAYING WITH MOTORS NOT LINING UP THE SCREW HOLES WASHING IT DOWN IN SIDE DUR,, ALL SO had a hatch seal go needed to replace some balsa and glass under the deck. but thats it, so I spent a 1g on the repair by the hatch. but I am making 3 custom bulkheads one in back where the seat was, one going under to the cabin I want to put custom leg molds in for sit down racing in p6 or5. and one extra bulkhead in the v up front. I don't want to rip the nose off playing with the big boats on the poker runs. unless it looks like this winter I can buy a joker, then I will fix the rear and sell it minus power or with a stock motor. I figure my motor is worth as much as the boat with a stock motor. yeah so that boat hit something a long time ago and not fixed right. hey anyone have a extra knee:D art
