2005 Fountain 35 X and Stress cracks
I am looking to purchase a 05 Executioner and noticed some stress cracks in the gel on the transom (above the rub rail) in the swim platform area and where the race fairing mounts to the rear. Is this normal?
Thanks in advance. |

Yes. The platform is just hollow fiberglass. Where the windscreen mounts likely came from screws being put in. You may also find them around cabin hatch on deck. |
Ok, thank you. I will check the deck as well.

Normal

Interesting. This is a low hour lake boat. I can only imagine what a salt water ocean boat looks like with double the hours. If repaired properly, will the swim platform cracks return?

Apparently rapid temperature fluctuations are though. The glass and the gel do not expand and contract at the same rate. |

What I meant was an ocean boat jumping waves and taking more of a pounding than a boat being used on a smaller lake.
