I purchased this boat way back in 1989. It is of fiberglass construction and I can attest to its strength. One day I was moving it along at about 35 to 40 close to the shore when it struck something right under the water. At that point it was thrown into a spin and right into the shore that was lined with big rocks. To my dismay the impact smashed the right sponson tip back extending back about 2 1/2". To repair it I used 2" wide masking tape and roughly formed the original shape of the sponson and after mixing in some gelcoat with the resin and MEK poured the tip solid.
Afterward, I sanded it down to shape repainted it and to this day I can't even detect where it ever happened. Oh by the way, that chap you see in the picture is not yours truly, just a future model boater that was happening by the lake that day.
