Hey all again,

So i've had my cat for a full year now (bought it same time last year), and over the winter i had repaired almost all the soft spots (about 3-4sq foot total) and it's been a blast!

now while i was feeling around the boat for issues, i found 3 new spots... well at least 1 is, i think 2 other may have been tehre, but they grew a bit (but not much, an inch or so)
locations: under the tramp one on each side, about 4 - 6 inches long, and one in the back near the rudder, 6 inches.

I don't mind doing the work to repair them, but is it worth it since they are not in critical areas (I repaired the big ones in front of the tramp already last winter)

Thanks!

Sebastian

Well i say if you can fix thewm do i t but if more and more keep showing up it means your boat is rotting and so maybe one day you should take the plugs out and let it dry(out of the water) but if they keep coming ditch the hull and look on this site becayuse some peoples are selling them. Harrison i found some...viewtopic.php?f=7&t=16027
