ST,

I agree. I realize I wasn’t able to share a sizable picture and I’m sure it’s my lack of knowing the ropes around the QJ these days.

With a better picture it would show the 5 foot patch and crack below. The Pat h needs feathering and I am going to apply an additional patch over it as well as in the interior. After that I will eventually refinish the entire boat as I did from the former damage.

Charlie winters under a tarp in the backyard that on occasion exposes the hull and with an excess of walnut trees and squirrels in my backyard gets a weathered look along with the fact I bought it well used. The last time I refinished her she sparkled.

If and when I figure out how to post better pictures and when Charlie is back in her best character I will again post a picture. It may be late next spring before then so.. something to look forward to over the winter months? I’m  awfully busy with work this time of year so it is what it is. “Winter is coming “. 😏

Thanks for the links my friend! I’ll give them a look see.

The best lesson here is.. that Kevlar repairs are not that difficult and usually doable.
