Default Re: Sailfish problems......

I have an `89 Tracker hull. I have VERY few stress cracks. My hull was laid up in November, which is a good thing in Fl. A lot of it has to do w/ the happiness/ competence of the crew doing the work. I was on an early Jupiter 31 which shuddered like a cold, wet dog, causing stress cracks and worse.
It seems the Bahamian foreman didn`t get the raise he thought he deserved after the first few production hulls and decided to "Bayliner" the owners for the slight. They didn`t pick up on it for a few hulls.......

Those cracks are in VERY strange places!


Best guess,
1 liner not supported evenly, or properly.

2 repeat as necessary.

Thx,
GFS
