Hi,
I've discovered some cracks, 6 to 8" long running just below the deck on the side of the hull. See attached Picture. They are located right about where you'd sit and hike.
I'm guessing that the boat was hit or dropped here, but I don't know. It's a used boat. If I push on the hull here, and at other locations around the hull they all seem to have similar stiffness. I have not yet put the boat in water, so I don't know if it takes on water.
Questions:
1. Does this look like something to be concerned about?
2. When I do get this in the water how much water is 'expected' when you drain. I'm sure it is time and weather dependent, but roughly speaking?
3. If this is cosmetic, should I repair it? If so, how?
Thanks
