These cracks are on the rudder mount (not sure of exact term) on A H16 that I am considering for purchase. Hull is in great shape otherwise. Cosmetic or serious? Thanks for any help. Hope that the pic shows up. |

No biggie, very common. Check the hulls carefully for soft spots! |

Thank you! Are soft spots in the hulls acceptable or should they be avoided completely? I believe this boat may have a baseball size spot. |

Small areas are repairable. There is a description of a resin injection technique in the sailing FAQ. Note... the boat has been painted. |

Thank you Matt. Is that an issue as well? What should I look for in that respect (the hulls being painted)? Still havent seen it in person as it is 4 hrs away. Trying to establish if it is worth the trip. Thanks for the help. Brand new to this. |
