My answer remains the same then, YES, there are things that can be done. All these things are discussed on this site. There is NOTHING that can be done NOW without removing the repair you have already done, as others here have already told you here.
I agree with Kamie, continue to use the boat, just watch the repaired areas closely and look for signs of any problems. I don't think you are going to see any, but if your worried, observe the area of the repairs after each boating session. If you do see a problem, you will then need to either repair, or have the issue repaired.
Right now, you really don't have a problem. No water is getting in your hull at this time. If you have any evidence of a waterlogged hull, you have not stated this here. As a matter of fact, from your own statements here, we can only assume you do not have a water intrusion problem at all.



If you don't believe there was water dripping from the hull, then what's your worry? If your foam was wet, or ruined, it would be dripping water. Surely, the repair shop where you had the repairs made would have discussed this issue with you. Did they? Did your repair shop tell you that you needed to do further repairs?

There are no "stringers" in your boat. It's just a fiberglass shell around foam. If there was water in the foam around those holes, your repair shop would have addressed the issue when they made the repair. This usually involves removing the wet foam and then replacing it with new foam, then closing the hole in the fiberglass.

I would not worry at all at this point and just observe the area. If you have really got a problem, it will show up.


I doubt that they would have repaired them also.

Instead of vandalism, it is much more likely that the holes were accidentally drilled while doing the trailer repair. A trailer repair shop does not have the skills or the materials to repair accidentally drilled holes, but they did you a favor by alerting you about them.

Recently, on a local board to me called 2coolfishing.com, several members have had new trailers fitted to their boats at a large and reputable trailer manufacturer in Houston. One of these guys got really mad at the dealership and posted about it after going to pick up his boat and new trailer and finding 2 holes drilled into his Contender brand boat by the trailer manufacturer. It took him some time and energy, but they finally admitted they had accidentally drilled the holes. If you would like to view the story, let me know, I can do a search of that site and find the thread and link it.

My point is: reputable boat trailer shops DO have accidents.
