Matt,
You mentioned in an earliar post that a "post glue stage" patch of glass that connected the deck to the sidewall of the hull at the forward crossbar connection was added beginning in 89 18's to beef up that area of the hull. Can I make this (or similar) mods to my 88 boat? I just bought this boat and noticed that the anchor plates have been added at the forward crossmember and also at the shroud connections. On the inside of the hulls at the forward crossmember, it looks like about a 4" x 4" patch of glass was added to thicken the hull where the bolts came through. Is this sufficient? So far, no cracking in this area although I can't say I'm not a little nervous about sailing the boat far offshore which I enjoy doing.
Thanks,
Tom Hundley
