stress cracks

[Ron]

Has anyone noticed stress cracks in the gel coat on the hull around the rudder post,thru holes, bow area ect. I know of three boats with these from 1994 to 1996 so far.

Make sure the cracks..

stop on the gelcoat. I had a bad experience with a 1991 Beneteau First 38. I was told by the seller that cracks on the hull were only gelcoat stress cracks but when I went to fix them I found that the cracks extended deep into the laminate. Although those cracks can also be fixed, you are talking about a different horse. Good luck
