Default A Rock-Solid Nitro Boat?

Hi, guys!

I have a Nitro Hammer, but I got some cracks on the hull near the propeller shaft tube. What is the best way to fix this cracks?

And I am looking for "a very solid and rigid deep-V nitro boat."

I am sick and tired of having cracks.

Any ideas? What about Pro Boat SW 36 or Kyosho FRP Twin Storm? Or any other boats?

Your advices will be greatly appreciated! Thank you very much for your attention

Do a search on "cracks" at the bottom of this forum where it says "search this forum" - there is tons of info (I tried this before posting this). As for a "ROCK SOLID" boat that you can BUY - isnt that an oxymoron! Guys who want a strong boat add reinforcement like more glass or some carbon fiber. Take a look at this post: http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_7792538/tm.htm - THAT is going to be a strong boat boat that was an RTR.

I had my hammer that cracked in the same place. I just sanded back the area and added a few layers of light glass. Fill and sand smooth. Once its painted you probably won't be able to tell its been done. If you want a rock solid boat then the hammer is not for you as it is quite fragile. In fact I have just retired mine.

Thank you for your responses.

Grant, did you do that on the inside or the outside?

And any ideas of a Rock-Solid boat?

Thank you again!
