[QUOTE="Ranchero50, post: 326487, member: 1523"] I'd only invest the time / work into the repair vs. the time you expect to use that hull. If you are only going to run it a couple years and upgrade. 5200 it and go. If you are going to keep it 3-5 years, I'd flip it and get the bottom welded. If you keep it longer than 5 years I'd get the ribs extended up the side of the hull like how most other boats are built. You know how far you are into it now with the decking so it's on the bubble whether it's patched and sold or fixed correctly. I would not just get the hull welded. I'd at the very least get the ribs extended so the floor doesn't crack out again. As said above, Trackers are pretty on the outside and cheapened where it matters. [/QUOTE]
