Went fishing and it again filled with water. So filled it up with water when I was home (attached it to the car first). After 10 minutes, it finally started pouring out a long split in the upper part of the hull. I'm looking at this split thinking I could have a go at fixing it myself - looks simple enough to dry the split with a hair dryer or similar so water in removed from the split, fill with resin or similar glue, clamp it and then when dry sand any beads of glue? Has anyone had any experience with this kind of job?
