The Gel-Coat in my water tank has been flaking since I bought my 28.5. I need to do some thing about it. I thought it was on this this forum that I read a thread of some one else in the same situation. After searching, I couldn't find it.
Who else has done this repair on their Hunter 28.5?
How did you remove the lid without breaking it?
Thanks,
Alec

I had problem by 28.5 where there were cracks in the gelcoat inside, mostly on the corners. As I recall, I used a marine grade 2 part epoxy to seal the cracks.

If there’s a lot of flaking, I would think that you wouldn’t you would want to do is to sand off the flaking and put a new layer of gel coat. Probably not terribly easy reaching down inside that small 6 inch hole.
