Hairline cracks on entire hull - anyone fix?
Spoke to Carver and they admitted that they had a product defect back then and stopped using material from that supplier. Never determined why some boats had cracks and others did not. Either way - they say it's on me to fix it.
Any thoughts? Carver recommends a strip down of the gel coat layer and the barrier coat down to the glass layer. Then add an epoxy filler layer, barrier coat, and bottom paint. Estimate is $10k.
Not sure if I do this or pocket the $10k and see what happens. Boat is 12 years old and has no water intrusion.
I posted pictures in case someone else has had this problem.
Any help appreciated.
