    Is this delamination?

    What the hell is this? Just discovered this today. This is underneath the boat, center of the hull, right about where the bilge meets the back seat.

    Oh man, I'm no glass guy and it's hard to tell from the pics, but it almost looks like a repair that has started failure in pic 2. Pic 1 and 3 look like a crack that has been oozing for a while or a blister finally popped. I'm afraid that may take some investigation from the inside, outside or both. Hope for the best for ya.

    I don't know either, but looking at the edge of the big area it looks like maybe something was struck underwater because the edge looks beveled. Or maybe that's where it started to take in water. I don't know...

    Could be osmotic blistering very common if the trailer bunks are where the blemish is.

    The top and bottom pictures look like screw holes just beggining to penetrate that area from above/inside??
    Look at your seat mounts or anything in that area.
    What I'm seeing (I think) is not delamination but fracturing of the lamination stack itself. Tough to tell from those pix's.
    Put something beside the damage (like a ruler) to give them reference.

    I'd find the opposite side of the damage (inside the boat) and start digging to see what it looks like.
    I'd rather be competitive w/junk I built in my garage than win w/stuff I bought.


    I refuse to allow common sense to interfere w/my boat buying decisions.

    I'll try to get better pics today. I don't think there is anything above that area but I'll take a look.

    I'm with Instigator on this. It is hard to tell from your photo's but whatever it is, being glass, it is not a biggy to repair.

    Looks like some rust crawling out,that would indicate some metal intrusion from above.But also kinda looks like an old repair.-----It does not look like a delamination.

    Is that the tip of a rusty screw poking through?

    unless the root cause of it is wet balsa, and that could be bad. Not uncommon with that boat.

    No I don't believe there is anything poking out, just two small holes where it looks like a little rot is going on. Could just be the discoloration as well. I have to inspect further.

    You can easilly check it's condition w/o opening it up. Tap the area w/a plastic hammer or handle of a screwdriver.
    If solid it will sound like your tapping the steel bumper of a '68 Buick. If bad it will sound like the plastic bumper of a '99 Taurus.
