This is my second season with this boat. I purchased from the widow of capt I raced with for 25 years. I was aware of crack but no idea how severe a problem this could be (DUH) and had to have boat due to sentimental reasons. We raced boat but not seriously since 2007. Crack developed in 2010. Any recommendation on a qualified shop to repair? Western end of Lake Erie.
