Weird Cracks in Bilge
Doing a pre
purchase
Survey
check on a
leopard
38, and noticed a few weird cracks in the
bilge
area. It is only on the starboard side. How common are these?
Rest of the
boat
is clean. No signs of
delamination
or
water
intrusion in the hull

Re: Weird Cracks in Bilge
It’s hard to tell, but it looks like mouldings that’s have been bonded in with filler (bog) have let go.
Cheap
and nasty way to bond stuff in. Obviously not up to the job, and doesn’t bode well for the rest of the construction.

Agree with Slug, slack workmanship/
cheap
filler.
