[quote=MN3]I doubt it was from the factory but not certain.
Hans contracted out a lot of the construction of g-cats and the quality control was all over the place.
The boats SHOULD have been originally been built with a mold that had gelcoat sprayed in first, then foams, then glass / epoxy (not sure about g-cats but I know that not all boats have foam). Deck lids were a separate mold and attached with some type of marine bonding [del]glue[/del] shmutz.
i know Hans and other g-cat owners have used strips of steel on the keels to prevent wear and I would completely believe someone could have thought it was a good idea to add sacrificial epoxy or kevlar or "other" during a bottom job to avoid wear.
Is summary - who knows, and it doesn't really matter. Just do a good repair and get in the pond[/quote]
