Very educational post! That's what would happen to afishin82's Seafari-to-CC "conversion" without a core on the inside of the hull! The Seafari inner liner covers up very little of the inside of the hull because the tall coaming in the cap, which is highest right in the center of the hull where it's most needed, adds so much bending stiffness to the hull. The MA model can also have a more open inner liner because of it's taller and stiffer cap. I'm sure Moesly put a lot of thought into those solid inner liners in the CC's! They add a lot of bending strength to the hull, so if you cut them away to add rod stowage against the hull without restoring the lost stiffness, this is a good example of what to expect! Too bad the PO spent so much on beautiful cosmetics without getting the basic structure right!
Besides the addition of a core on the hull sides, I would assume most of the deck will have to come out so those cracks can be repaired from the inside. A friend that's been doing fiberglass repairs on big yachts for about 25 years says that when you see cracks like that on the outside, the delamination on the inside is usually much worse.
