Typhone deck crack

Post by James Bierwert »

I found a 1975 Typhone for sale at $1800,but the question is it repairable ? There is 6 to 8 in. crack about 6 in. to left of the starboard chain plate running fore and aft. About how much should this repair cost and is it worth the trouble. Thank you. jb

Considering I just paid $2800 for a 1970 Ty with no cracks, I'd have to believe you could get it fixed. Especially if the rest of the boat is in good shape. Since it's so cheap, I'd spend a few bucks for a survey.
