Reply to: 84' Hobie 18 hull repair, no foam core along center of hull??

[quote=Dogboy]Pop open the access port behind the front crossbar. Take a flash light or shop light and shine it inside the hull and look down. You will see near the bottom of the hull, there is a step in the hull surface on both sides of the hull which runs forward and aft. This step is where the hull construction transitions from cored to solid laminate. The hull should be completely solid everywhere. If it's soft on the bottoms, that means you have delamination between the glass layers and they would need to be ground out and built back up. If you don't repair, it's possible the hull roller could eventually punch up through the bottom of the hull (switching to cradles is a good idea too). The good news is that the front port hole should give you access to repair the boat from the inside as well as outside. sm[/quote]
