[QUOTE="mikezohsix, post: 105399, member: 2036"] I looked at the above boat today. It's been in a barn for 20 years. I'm not too worried about the mechanicals on the boat, but I am concerned about corrosion and a crack I found in the the hull on each side, down at the bottom, about 1" forward of the transom. Looks like it's been wet, corroded, and cracked, just forward of the wood on the inside. On the port side it's about 1.5 inch long, on yhr stbd side it's only 1/4 inch. The material around it seems sound. Can't really see the area on the inside as it's all foamed. I bounced on the outdrive and found zero flex in the transom. Is this something to worry about, or can I patch it with Al sheet and some 5200? Not looking for a beauty, but don't want something that the transom falls off either. The boat is cheap, $1000 range, with 260 hours on it. It hasn't been run, but seems to have even compression, has spart, gas is just a thick goop. The hull is otherwise very good looking, motor is complete and original, seats are incredible for thier age, there are covers, etc. What do you think? [/QUOTE]
