hull issues...need help

[Ranchero50]

Since these holes are probably in a line....what about welding four (or five) strips that cover all of the holes? Four long strips might be easier to work with for the welder. Would add a bit of strength and weight to the bottom.

What might that procedure cost, do you think????

That's a lot of weld length. Be cheaper to reskin the bottom of the hull. Since we still don't have pics it's hard to say how they dealt with the bottom strakes.

I'd ditch the plastic and weld it up
