Watch those deck cracks!

Post by Ray Quaranto »

Having just recently sold my 25D, I have been looking at CD30's in the Northeast. It appears that I was very lucky in that my 25D had virtually no deck cracks. Now that I have seen 4 CD30's I am amazed at the amount of deck cracks on these boats. Reading past messages about the cracks lead me to believe that they are mostly cosmetic - the problem is 2 out of the 4 boats with deck cracks were clearly soft and weak in those areas. Obviously water has entered and is rotting the core. ...So.. Fill those cracks!

Anyone have any suggestions for filling deck cracks?
I have one or two minor ones that probably need to be cared for.
Thanks

Use the "Search" feature at the top of the message board page. Dana Arenius posted a long series of instructions on how he repaired his deck cracks. I believe there have been other discussions on the subject.
