"Chillin The Most" gets a make over - No longer Chillin

Would it be completely crazy to fill the gap under that with something like sea-cast or nida-core stringer fill? Yeah it may add some weight but overall i doubt the boat would even notice it and having it pourable would allow it to fill all the nook and crannys under the liner to get a good fill i think....

Wally thank you for the idea! See this is what it is all about tossing ideas around! I was trying to think of the Sea Cast product and the name was not coming to me to save my life! Now I have some reading to do. What I really want to find is something that has more work time then pour foam. The short work time i what scares me. I will report back with my research this evening.

Hey Chris, So sorry to hear about this problem. I know it would be unlikely that formula would do a recall especially because of age but I wonder how the legal system would handle a situation if the boat had come apart at speed and someone had been hurt because of the bad workmanship. Very thankful that didn't happen and you caught it. Im curious whether they would be held accountable. The way our legal system works I would say this is much worse than being burned by hot coffee at McDonalds.
Also If I were Formula I would be very concerned about this since it happened again and was discovered because of this thread. It could be great positive PR twist to notify the public and agree to at least pay a portion of the fix. Somebody could get hurt badly because of this.

if badmonkey bought the boat when it was 2-3 years old and discovered the issues, would formula step up and do the right thing? probably,i would think.
so what difference does it make that the boat is now 15 years old?the issue has always been there since day one,we are not talking about a rotten transom or wet stringers that could happen over time,we are talking about a issue with a boat that has to do with the way it was put together when it was been build.
again sorry if you guys think I am bashing Formula ,I am not ,just my thoughts on the situation,and I think Formula builds a great boat and I would not hesitate to buy one, and I know nobody asked for my thoughts,lol

been following this thread and I am not trying to start any issues or any bashing of any kind and I understand the boat in question is older, but what does that have to do with the workmanship issue the boat has?if in fact the issue is what we are told it is.

No bashing at all IMO....I couldn't agree with you more considering we are the ones having to spend all the money to repair a boat that all would think nothing like this would happen. Yes, Formula missed the boat (no pun intended) on the quality control. Should they get involved and do something...as far as I am concerned YES....will they????TBD. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. This is what sharing this thread was all about... public awareness, educational, informational, etc.etc....

I am not an expert on structural fiberglass, but it is a little extreme to think that this could cause hurt to anyone. I have seen boats delaminate in several races and poker runs (never a Formula btw) and no one was hurt. I would think knowing the place where this is happening, there is plenty of structural support and in my opinion, would not cause a catostrophic failure. Again, please don't make this into something it is not.
