Repairing Discovery 169 ?

[dwilson]

We have a 169 Discovery constructed from Polylink 3. As we was loading the boat with the floating stuff I noticed a jagged crack located inside the boat towards the center running length ways about 8 inches long with no water coming in. Yes the boat was in the water while loading. As I said before no water was coming but it is clearly a crack. What's the best fix for this boat that only has 100 miles on it?

call Old town, they have a variety of repair kits, and depending on the boats age, it may be under warranty. Last I spoke to them, about 6 months ago. warranty was only one year.

just google old town, and call custy service.

The boat was purchased around a year and a half ago from that guy in Alton Miss. I've been visiting with him about some stuff that he's testing right now. Will be getting back with him next week for the results. Don't know if you all know the folks in Alton or not but real nice people.

did you mean Alton Mississippi or Missouri. The canoe livery in Alton MO. has someone who does plastic welding for him on his Disco 169's.

Missouri. Got a message back from that fella and he said this new stuff works real well. I'll post about it later after I get it.
