I'm looking to buy my first boat, a used 2006 Getaway for 3,900. Looks in very good condition with the exception of cracks in one of the hulls around the rear crossbeam. The previous owner says he filled the cracks with an epoxy calk. A shop that works with rotomolded hulls tells me the repair could be better if calk is removed and cracks filled with a combination of G-flex and glass. A few questions: How common are cracks like this in this location? How serious are they from a structural standpoint? Does the G-flex/glass combo sound like a fix? And the boat does not currently have wing seats, but I would want to add them. Might that exacerbate the problem? Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated!

Where is this located? I have a getaway with the same bad cracking, but on the opposite hull. Maybe there’s a good boat to be made between them for either you or I. |

That doesn't bother me. Could the repair be better? Yes. There a series of Getaway restore videos by "Mathew Davis - Adventures and DIY". He does a repair like this the correct way. jcoyne2 wrote: I'm looking to buy my first boat, a used 2006 Getaway for 3,900.

Here in N. CA there is a Craigslist Getaway "project" with one hull cracked. Has wings and sails and trailer...just thought someone might want to check it out. https://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/boa/d/ ... 43624.html The wings alone are worth what he's asking for it. |
