Ok, 76 P-16, Dry hulls but have some soft spots on the sides of the hulls. Is this called oil cannin? As for the spider cracks, what can I do to clean them up or is it somethin not to worry too much about. No soft spots on the tops of the hulls though.

Happy (nearly two year) Anniversary!

I'm thinking the hull sides on a 1976 Prindle are sold glass. How soft are they? Maybe a little movement is normal?

Prindle folks, please share.

the hulls are foam core...injection will fix it right up! the repair spot will be stronger than surrounding areas.
