Defects and Damage
The bathing platform is broken — repair or replace?
The question is less about the size of the break than about how the load-bearing attachment enters the hull. If the damage is confined to the skin laminate, repair is economical; if the backing or the anchorage into the hull is affected, it becomes structural work.
Why it works this way
A borescope and hammer testing settle that distinction without dismantling anything — which is worth doing before accepting a quote for either option.
