[QUOTE="Poormans Boatright, post: 421278, member: 5870"] Happens all the time, Iv'e fixed plenty of em, usually on wide boats. Just rewelding the cracks isnt gonna fix the problem, the ribs need to be reinforced. This is a area where boat mfg's need to use thicker materials, but that would drive the cost up. I fix em by welding 1\4" angle down the entire length of the rib. Just my 2cents worth. [/QUOTE]
