[QUOTE="Action762, post: 311603, member: 10888"] Thanks for the information guys. I have never fiber glassed anything before, but I like to think of myself as a "handy" individual with some good common sense. I am also a visual learner so I like to watch people repair something, like this, in real time so I know what I will be in for. Also the posts and suggestions make the job easier. Great White that's great information. I will use this, most likely to a T, once I am ready to repair it. Here I am thinking I stole the boat from the seller.....

I will watch a few videos on youtube to get an idea of how to glass. I tend to watch "how to" videos over and over until I know "how to" step by step without thinking about it.
