Thread subject: Whaler Central - Boston Whaler Boat Information and Photos :: Big Crack in Floor of Sakonnet

Hey everyone, I have just been handed down my father's 1965 Sakonnet. It is in surprisingly great condition besides needing sanding and paint job.

To the right of the console almost directly through the drainage channel I have a major crack about 12'' long on the floor. Water easily gets in there. When stepped on, the water squirts out of the foam beneath it. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thank you.

I'm not sure on this one but, can you drill stop the crack by drilling a hole at each end of the crack ? I know this works on metel but, I'm not sure about fiberglass.
