I just bought my first Whaler. It's a 1967 13' I bought to striper fish in the bay. The problem I see is the hull has cracks all over it as does the interior floor. Cracks are everywere! I am in New England and it looks like it may be water soaked and then froze. I shoulda looked at it closer but it looked solid and the motor runs well so I figured what the heck. I'm sure I will get a few yeasr out of it but it's such a cool old boat I was thinking I might spruce it up over the winter. Is this a common thing???
