Status: offline 		Hi, I recently sold a ProBoat 36" nitro Shockwave that I never used, the buyer tells me that the gas tank leaked nitro
and ate a hole in the hull. The hull is made of fiberglass, is this possible that nitro will eat a hole through it? The boat was sold to him a week ago.........
thanks

For some reason, ProBoat's hulls don't like standing fuel on the fiberglass and it's not the first one that I've heard about having this problem. Why, I don't know as most fiberglass hulls don't have this issue. A lot of owners have had to seal theirs with epoxy.
