Noticed a crack in the fiberglass today. Looking for advise on repairing it. My first thought is that I have to cut out the broken glass on the back side and build it back up with new. Any suggestions and recommendations of best products from the experts would be appreciated.

Thanks Dale

After your repair keep in mind that that is the weakest spot on an FFR. If you pick the body up from the nose and tail so the body sags in the middle that spot is under compression and has no problem. If you reverse the situation and lift from the sides letting the nose and tail sag it takes very little to cause that exact crack. I have fix maybe 15 in the past 20 years...da Bat

Thanks for the information / advise. I am lifting front and back with the center brace in, but I did by this as a used kit and who knows how the previous owner moved it around. I will order up some supplies for the repair.
