I have helped several new owners with early used TheMightyHobie18 Magnums: Both had broken-through 9 inch long cracks under the front stbd and port rear crossbars. (none had ever had stainless steel reinforcing plates). If this bad, the clean-up and repairs must be done from inside, hulls inverted.
Big job, but doable.
