It put a nice big rip in the hull about 3ft long with about a 12"x12" chunk at the end of the rip I'd have to take the boat off the trailor to get some good pics. The hull is balsa cored. There is coring sticking out. The proper way to fix the hull is from the inside out. It would require to remove the interior and flooring to do so. Your talking a lot of labor to fix a boat that isn't worth anything... It could be patched together from the outside but I'm not gonna do it and I've seen what happens when boats are'nt repaire correctly and they delaminate... This can be a very bad thing when you get up around 100. Just imagine running wide open with one trim tab all the way in the water.

Do you have a hydraulic helm by any chance? Or other hydraulic steering parts?

This is very true!! I was driving a black baja years ago and about 15ft of the hull delaminated at about 70mph. Almost flipped it!!! It was a scary thing to experience! That hull went in the trash!!

I know a guy that had one come apart at 160mph and almost lost it. Boat was repaired from the outside and did the same thing. It was then repaired from the inside and lasted until the repo man picked her up...

I have two Doug Nash 1:1 Hydrosmooth Marine Trannys (brand new still in original shipping crates). Would you be int. in them and cash for the engine? I am looking to sell them or trade for engine parts of equal value.
