Gemini 105mc with damaged bow. Advice needed

Hi. I’m looking at purchasing a gemini 105mc and found some damage to the upper starboard bow. There is a small holes and broken hull seal behind the carpet in the closet. Has anyone dealt with this issue? Easy fix or more of a structural repair. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks

Re: Gemini 105mc with damaged bow. Advice needed

I had a few small holes punched into my bow when I was tied up to a wharfe while I was in the hospital,

It was getting hammered with 2 to 3 metre waves,
The bow is just a single thin skin, 5mm thick, Maximum,

Grinding out the holes and refilling with Fibreglass is all that is required,
Buff it off smooth and repaint,

Very easy fix,

Underneath the carpet in the locker is a water tite compartment, Access is just inside the Door under the carpet,

Definitely not a big deal at all. Just take the cost of the repair off the purchase price and you are good to go.
