how bad is this ?

[nicknotsebastian]

obviously not good but are we talking totally f’d ?

Looks like the wood in the stern-knee got wet ..... then froze and caused the fiberglass to crack.

It's not a hard fix.

You'll need to cut (Sawzall) the old knee out. Use it as a template to cut a new one. Fiberglass it in place then color match with either paint or gelcoat.

Fortunately that knee doesn't extend below the deck

Thank you!
Whaddaya think of this one ? leftover holes in the bilge on the raised sections. No biggie?

I would certainly address those holes and seal them. I’d recommend doing it correctly with resin and glass vs the 5200 plug and seal method.

Those are the old battery trays when Parker stuck the batteries in the bilge

There is nothing at all structural to those trays. If they rot ...... no big deal.

If it were me though ..... I would seal the holes with epoxy resin. Drill the holes out a little wider than current ..... drill them out to a 1/4" diameter. Then fill with epoxy.

It looks repairable but how far it goes, you need to open it up

follow up...

i bought the boat and its on the cape now. been out 20+ days on her already this season.
running great and raising a lot of fish.
love it (knock wood).

can anyone tell me where or does anyone have (print or digital) an original 2000 2501 owners manual and schematic (?)

its nothing critical, but i’m planning some slight modifications and some upgrades and often the original docs have good info on plumbing wiring, cable runs, etc that help out.
