[QUOTE="typed by ben, post: 354346, member: 11717"] as long as you have all the foam out of the way and the cracks are accessible, they could be rewelded in the boat. a price tag $700 is a little spicy. must be harder to reach than they look, and they may break again if the problem isnt in the stringers. you could also have a metal fabricator make ribs following that profile that you could lay over top of the broken ones and be riveted in, but that would be the more expensive option. i think its definitely worth it to fix the hull. if you fix it and it breaks again in another 15 years thats good use imo.
