we had it happen, twice, first time they fixed them, the whole sanding them down, then letting them dry, and patching them. But then they never matched the gel colour well. After the first repair did not stick, the boat ended up going back to the manufacturer and ended up getting a whole new hull.

beginning of Osmosis. From boat sitting in the water. Water penetrates the Gelcoat then swells with the fiberglass and can't get back out of the gelcoat. Proper way to get rid of it is to have whole bottem of boat sanblasted in the fall and leave it open for the winter and in the spring, have it sealed and re-sprayed. Or blast and bottem paint(will hurt resale)

Mine was a 97 Hammer. Water line down had them. I went through the whole process above, but I bought the boat knowing this needed to be done and discounted the price to have it repaired. To be quite honest, if you trailer the boat all the time and plan on keeping for a long time then I would bother fixing, but if you plan to re-sell the boat in the next year or 2 then it will need to be done.

Can't see how the bunk slides would work. If you dunk the trailer and retrieve the boat, they're wet, obviously. And with 5000 lbs of boat sitting on them, they're not going to dry out between the slide surface and the hull surface. How is that different than carpet, except for slightly less water?
Unless I'm missing something. |
