ACP Repair Crack?

[bloomac]

Hey Hunter owners with an ACP Hull. I need some help fixing my boat

The prior owner of my boat over tightened the thru-hull bolts for the shrouds that go into the side of the hull. This led to an indentation of the ACP and a 1-2" crack leading from the bolt hold.

Do I simply drill a hole to terminate the crack and just fill in with Plexus? What about the indentation? Do you think that is weakened as well? Would you grind out the whole area, wet out some fiberglass and lay in with some plexus?

Wouldn't be a big deal if it wasn't in such a high stress location.

Or are these hulls stronger than I think and just seal the crack....silicone the bolt and call it a day.

ACP crack/indentation

I have fixed several cracks but all of mine seemed to be there for no apparent reason. How deep is the indentation? Is the indentation smooth or can you see cracks around it? Is the one crack you mention leading away from it? How wide is it? Can you see the bolts on the inside? I have a 212 which probably has a different shroud connect than yours. Do you have the foam on the inside of the cabin like the 212?

It has the foam on the inside. Its a 216. No other cracks. Just a washer line that is fingernail deep. Yes, the bolts go through the boat and connect with the thru bolts above. Thinking the plexus will do it. So we'll see
