Hello to forum members. I am new to forum. I just bought a used Hunter 90. The hull has several long cracks. I am aware this is an issue with these boats. I was wondering whether I can cut away the outer plastic or composite shell completely, as I feel it is not worth repairing.
There is a thicker layer below this plastic shell. After removing outer shell, If I coat that inner sandwiched material with waterproofing layer like flex seal or similar coating, will that work ? My intention is to use this boat for a couple of years during the summer and then discard it, as the boat has been used extensively and is on its last legs. I feel the inner layer is what gives structural strength and buoyancy to the boat, and the outer cracked composite shell is mostly cosmetic and also for keeping water away from inner material. I could be wrong though.

Thanks for your help.
