This Old Boat!

[Mark]

Hello, Is the Fiberglass still sturdy enough after 38 years? I recall some years ago that FG deteriorates and becomes too brittle as it gets older, so much so, that it easily develops hairline cracks. I'm not writing this to scare you and I'm not a Chemistry PHD either. But I'm responding with this only with concern for safety.

Not sure what the condition of the hull is yet it is in the water currently . I do plan on doing a thorough safety inspection and survey before use. thanks that is good advise .
