Thought I'd bump this up and give you guys an update.I didn't want to touch the boat until the insurance adjuster saw it.
I took it to a very reputable yard for an estimate.These guys work on really big boats and weren't too interested in doing my little 23', but the manager is a friend of a friend.
Their opinion was that there was a delamination and when I hit something, the strip just peeled back.The manager said he has seen similar problems on other boats, and they refer to these as "Friday boats" he even said some builders won't layup boats on Friday's.But you gotta wonder how it lasted 30 years if it was a layup f-up - so I don't know.
So, he gave me an estimate for $3000 and the adjuster came and looked at it last week.I also found a friend with some warehouse space that he said I could use gratis - So I could be getting to it soon.
The yard recommended I use polyester and "fabmat" which sounds like some kind of stitched chopped strand.
Once I get it in the barn and off the trailer, I'll take some pics as I go.
Any opinions on what to order for the cloth? I'll probably order it online, but I'm not too sure of the weights and codes for the product I want to use.
Have a good holiday guys,
Bill
