So... we have moved from NH to VA to try to stop our 170 Hull from cracking. It had some cracks when we got it (used) and my husband repaired with the plexus... beautiful job. Then, last winter in NH, stored outside, cracks came back in the same spots... My husband, begrudgingly, fixed the cracks again and we sailed her last summer in NH planning to sell her in the fall. Then instead, we moved to southern VA. So we decided to keep her for our dock : ) thinking that winters without snow (vs the 10 degrees below in NH) would mean no more cracking.
After towing her down here and having her sit for the autumn, the cracks have returned, the worst of which is the one in front of the tabernacle. Are we doing something wrong with the plexus? Does this mean we need someone to repair it with glass too this time? My husband is ready to try to get rid of her.
We also need to install a motor mount and motor for use here on the York River and Bay...
