[Rhodes22-list] hull leak

[Lou Rosenberg]

Tom

  I just finished major repairs to my hull.  I have an '81Rhodes.  My  
only advice would to be very aggressive in seeing the cement under
the head area.  My delamination was under there and  I was already on  
stands when I took up my flooring job to take a closer look at the
cement which is used for ballast in the forward belly of the boat,  
just aft of the foam.

My leak came all the way back through the cement and into the bilge  
when I tried to launch last year. I was already in the process of  
stripping off all the gelcoat
and applied 10+layers of West System epoxy with Barrier Coating.


good luck
