Motors are out, I had some typical delamination in the bilge so that`s getting fixed along with a scratch in the paint from an anchor. I don`t see a reason to reinforce anything from the inside . Not his first rodeo so I trust whatever needs to be done will be.

2 Weeks worth of work , all is finished. 30 year old dull bottom full of dings and scraches looking like new again.
Biggest hook was between Strakes, should be a better more efficient ride.

Was that actual delamination or was it just a cosmetic surface coating that cracked. I have seen Where they just coated over existing gellcoat with a new layer.
