There's no core in this area. Never saw a flange or anything. So I was a bit surprised to see that this 'whitish' area was the inside layer of glass. Poked through with a probe and was inside the hull. I opened up the rest of the crack that widened when I pried between the hull halves. That left about 6" on either end of the opened area.
So my plan is to put a lot more epoxy mixed with ?? in the 1/4" gap, then clamp. Then, in a day or 2, I'll lay up the knytex. I'm also getting white pigment, which hopefully will replace painting of gelcoating.
I also notice the inboard hull half is thicker than the outboard. And the crack didn't run right inbetween the 2 halves, rather was in the thicker (inboard) half.
Here's a pic of how it looks now. Lemme know what you think.
