Thread subject: Whaler Central - Boston Whaler Boat Information and Photos :: Rejoining cut in half hull

In July I picked up a 2003 “Demo” Sport 130 which is 13’ that had been cut in half by a dealer. Then about a decade later they sold it to the person I bought it from a boat builder who had it in his shop (with intentions to put it back together, but never did) who had it for about a decade before deciding to sell it to me. I paid $300 for it.

After talking with several people involved with glass repairs of this magnitude, and having a very helpful call from Boston Whaler after I wrote to them asking about the hull, I developed a basic pla to rejoin the hull to put it into the water.

Seemed a shame to me that the boat was a display only, and never been in the water, though it completely built to spec.

My question is, is there any place in the bow that can take a cleat or eye since this model does not have a Norman pin?
