This is the nose damage that was on my boat when I bought it. Why does it look worse to me now than the day I bought it?
I'm getting ready to do something about it and want to see what the veterans here think I should do and what materials might be needed...
I'm having fun sailing it now and I don't seem to be taking on any water and one option I would consider is a quick fix to just shore it up for now to fix in the off-season. I'm on a pretty flat lake and the only waves I take are from other boats occasionally and they are like one foot tops.
On the other hand, I'm not opposed to pulling the trim off and sanding, grinding, filling, epoxying, fiberglassing, marine-tex whatever needs to be done if can be done in a couple days. I'm a very hand guy with woodworking and mechanical type stuff but have never done fiberglass repair but I have built houses and have lots of tools, sanders, etc.
Now I'll shut up while you guys set me straight.
