Bought a Boat Angel Hunter 25' vintage 74. Only used 4 times last 2 had 6" water then 12" water when taking for haul out. No apparent leaking at rudder or hull. Did notice 10" horizontal crack about 1/16 at intersection of hull and keel. Any clues or suggestions? Regards, Woody

Start by...
....determining if it is fresh or salt water. Fresh = rain leak. Salt = *yks. (Check all thru hulls, stuffing box, keel bolts).

Hurry!
Whatever the cause...FIND IT BEFORE LAUNCHING. I assume from your statement that you didn't find it the first time you noticed water. So, Get a QUALIFIED Surveyor or rigger to find the cause(s) before you risk your life, your family's lives, your friend's lives, your investment,or your financial future. Funerals and lawsuits are expensive and devastating. S/V Intuition

Woody, where is your boat?
Mine was probably worse than yours when I bought it-- the entire keel needs rebedding and I have not finished to that stage yet. But we might compare notes. EMail me and I'll come look at your boat-- if I have not already seen it from my typical yard browsing. I am across the state from you and know your area well. JC 2 cherubiniyachts@aol.com

Hi, Thanks for your response. The boat is currently on blocks in the yard at Southwinds Marina end of east lacy road in forked river. Think the problem is either the rudder tube or possibly small cracks running along keel and hull intersections. Regards, Woody Page 609 971 8997
