CV23 leaker "The Minivan"
« on: August 20, 2018, 09:00:12 PM »
So at some point over the weekend the 23 started taking on a lot of water.  I guess a 38" crack will do that.
I guess it isn't good for a year or two............

Just curious, is the crack directly below the entrance to the cuddy?  Seems like that area is a flex stress area on the 23's.    That's unfortunate it happened just after purchase.  Could it have happened on the trailer?

I would say no to it happening on the trailer.  According to Shawn's pictures of his rebuild there is not a stringer in the cuddy area over that strake. There will be when I rebuild it.
