    Howdy,
    New here and need some advice.
    Just retired and bought my 1st airboat,looked good when I picked it up, but by the time I pulled it 200 miles home the polymer broke at the nose(no problem,I'll just remove and reglass).
    However 2 of the 4 stringers are cracked.
    Is it necessary to R&R them or can they be repaired? :confused:
