    Minor fiberglass damage, or major?

    I am considering purchasing this boat, however I have no idea as to how serious this damage is. The cracks and small chunk taken out of the fiberglass in this area near the bow eye seems to be about an 8 inch deep or so. This was a result of improper trailering.

    So, where to begin........ Last year I purchased my first boat and got somewhat burned by the previous owner. I am pretty sure the guy did a quick flip on it by adding some bells and whistles, along with some krylon and called it good. Aside from the Motor shooting craps on me due to thermostat...
