Do SCALDED DOWG mean anything ta ya'll
That's how she run
39mph on the GPS and we aint got the trim hooked up and running the prop that come with it
it takes about 20 foot ta be on plane and 5500 RPM at WOT "figure we need a 22 or 23 pitch instead of the 20 pitch we got now"! only "unexpected problem" is we found two cracks in the hull, about half way down and on opposite sides off one another
IDEAS ON THE BEST WAY TA FIX EM

Nice lookin' rig! I hope ya get the cracks figured out. This is a good place to do it!

The tank is under the center console, the cracks are about a foot in front of were the tank ends and they both are about a foot and a half long and the reason we started looking for a hole was the amount of water in the bilge after only about 30 minutes on the water "several gallons"
O ne looks to have been worked on before

A picture would be nice....but you can fix it, some polyester resin, 1808 biaxial fabric (1808 is 18 oz biaxial with a matt), then gel coat....It's not gonna be fun....
I prefer epoxy over polyester, but to regelcoat you have to buy a special primer that's expensive...so polyster is the most logical choice...

I gotta get a better camera 
I will use it a lot, so I don't mind putting a few thousand into it
