[quote=halliske]Hey. If strength and hull integrety is the issue you have one probem. If leaking is the the issue you have a differnet problem. To me the bottom looks like many years of dragging on the beach has caused leakage.. ALSO>> Perhaps too much pressure on the tie downs on rollers in transport may have stressed the seam at the keel.. The fix for me for a olde boat that still rocks (and the 5.2 does) is to seal the H2O leak from the inside ,, do a fix-it leak patch inside the hull( Add a bit more glass than necessary to that area .. fore and width) since you have access to the keel and after sealing the leak and add... some glass to the outside (if necceary) to prevent further damage if necessary.!! (Be carefull not to plug the drain holes from the front sections of the hull( see Chris177 here on the photos on the inter hull photos ( Chriss U rock??))) .. AND sail the Pis* out of her .. And Get or Make ( I will have a photo log of this on B Cats soon) on makin trailer guides/cradles so the hull are not on just rollers on the trailer but more surface area to ease the pressure on the keel on the trailer.. Don't get P**ed off, even to the guy U got it from. U will never regret it! U have a 5.2.. Enjoy the balance and the spirit and the "coolness" of a 20+ year olde boat that was WAY AHEAD OF IT"s TIME and still rocks.. Like living with the a lady love you never had.. she rocks!! Say By By to H 16s and 18s.. Horizon Time !! Cheers H[/quote]
