it "hinged". Long boats, a lot of leverage. Same exact thing happened to the RDS 45 Apache

I had 2 41’s that cracked in the same place.
Skater fixed the race boat, and it’s it’s still running around today.

they can be repaired, and end up stronger than new.

There were lots of them, come down on the chine crooked in rough water and a side will blow out, they just fixed them and went on. i know of boats that had gas tanks explode and ive seen the pics, its a purpose built race boat, they are built to race not a beauty pageant.. sh!t happens, fix it and run it...

I am sure Loren will fix her up and make her stronger then ever, TNT takes care of her so she's in Good hands. She's so much fun to run, we kicked haul overs butt in January, Ride of a Life time. Skater made Allez Vite stronger then ever and she's run hard summer.
