One of our scouts accidentally drove a capri 14.2 on a trailer into a tree on the ramp. Causing major damage. We are looking for advice of how to properly make the repairs. We have some experience with boat repairs, this will be the biggest one for us.
Problem #1: Hull breach on bottom of hull where the mast dropped in the hull cavity. Do we grind away the seems and patch it from the inside and outside with glass and fairing compound?
Bottom of hull
Inside Hull cavity
Problem #2: The mast step is broken. It snapped the wood support. Can we just replace the wood? (what species is best) and then fiberglass in the mast step onto the deck and support wood.
The top damage
This is the mast step ripped out
placeholder wood for reference
