John Winters said: << I have heard no long term durability reports on repairs. perhaps someone who has had a poly boat fixed will know. >> I have an old yellow Aquaterra Spectrum that fell off a moving trailer (before I owned it), and had a huge hole in the bow. It was welded with yellow plastic in a very messy manner, but it seemed to hold OK until I bumped into a rock while moving fairly rapidly downstream on the Truckee River. The weld came loose a little and the boat was leaking. So I found an industrial plastic welder who fixed it very neatly, but with white plastic so it doesn't match my boat's color. Anyway, I haven't had any problems since, but the bulkhead does leak and I need to seal it occasionally.
