[QUOTE="Sailor Jules, post: 326481, member: 12585"] Pulled the boat out into the drive way to clean and inspect the hull and BAD NEWS. I found cracks along 4 of the main ribs. I need to speak with a boat repair professional to determine what to do next. I was a helicopter mechanic in the Navy for 8 years and if this were a helicopter we would stop drill the holes, drill out the rivets, remove the beams (ribs in this case), cut out and patch the skin, then replace the ribs. On this boat do I need to remove the ribs and repair it like I stated above? Or can I simply stop drill the cracks and have someone tig weld the external skin? Has anyone else encountered cracks like this with their Pro 17? [/QUOTE]
