I've searched and haven't had much luck with finding much. Has anyone else had this problem and what was the fix. |

is it just the gelcoat thats cracked? My 80 has some chips missing out of the gel but its seems ok structurally. |

Gel coat is brittle and adds nothing structually. Knock off the loose pieces and build the contour back up with some thickened gel coat. No big deal. |

Thanks for the info. and that sounds like an easy fix. I"m curious though, what gives structural strength to the bridle attachment points? |
