Hi all,
I'm looking for my next boat and I was looking at a 1986 O'Day 28 the other day. It has a keel-stepped mast and when I lifted up the inspection plate in the sole I noticed a hairline crack about 3 or 4 inches long in the fiberglas where the mast rests. I also noticed a small gouge in the front of the keel.
Could that crack be normal for a boat this age or would this be something catastrophic? Thanks.
