Hello,
I'm considering buying a Getaway. The one I'm looking at has some cracks/separation where the beams attach to the hulls. See photos:
How serious are these cracks? Can they be fixed with g-flex?
Thanks!

Seen and fixed worse on my old one, 2nd picture doesn’t look like a crack, rather extra plastic around the beam slot peeling, the first picture is the only concern, but drill the end so it stops running and use gflex. As long as the price reflects the cracks, it should last at least a few good seasons, maybe more. My old one was bought and sold at a significant discount due to the cracks, but sailed fine for the time I had it, liked it so much bought a new one, it’s a great boat. |

I have had similar cracks on my 2001 Getaway (since I bought it in 2002). No extensions and it's going strong. I'm considering a GFlex repair of some transom cracks that have been there the same duration but only because one hull collects a bit of water during more vigorous sails (crack extends into the drain plug threads). I wouldn't worry about it. (Best $5K I've ever spent!) |
