The 'Getting Ready' thread got me thinking what needs to be done for next year. The prior owner of my boat hit something dead on center on my "Vee" style boat. I didn't notice more than the scrape when buying the boat and didn't notice the hole the first time it leaked (pretty good leak). It looks like a scrape on the front vee but also has a crack right down the middle of it – almost dead center about 3 inches long. I tried patching it with silicone, and that works for about 1/2 a day. But the silicone pulls off in a day of fishing if I go wide open a lot.
The crack doesn't seem to be growing at all after a full year of use. I used it in some pretty rough water, even got the boat air-born once and mostly air-born a few other times while just playing around on some nice wakes – so I hope it isn’t a major problem besides the leak.
Any idea on what the average price would be to patch this? I'm just looking for a range so I can stop with the first guy I call if he is in the range.
