Could be a deal if you happen to be a fiberglass expert or own an Infusion starboard hull.

Wow! Anyone know the story behind that one? A little inspiration from BAR racing?

That looks like some serious road rash

Don't worry captain, we can buff out those scratches!

That can be repaired, but not easily. Only one shop on the East Coast I would trust with that job, and you are looking at a $4k+ repair bill. Good luck trying to get an individual hull.

Agreed! In the vein of "anything is possible", yeah, that could be repaired...but it's not worth it.

An experienced home-builder could repair this with a lot of TLC for max 500 bugs material!

Yes, you can do a clean repair job and probably be close to weight. That is not a trivial repair however, and you have no access to the inside of the hull. To do it right costs $4k in materials and labor. Lets call it it $500 for material, leaving $3500 for labor. At $80/hr, that works out to a weeks work (44 hours) for a professional. I'd also be skeptical of the seams on that hull, and I would go ahead and tape those from the outside since it needs a bottom job anyway. Then you are still stuck with outdated boards.

we have a local hard charger who accidentally .... ripped a few feet off the bow of his mystere 6.0 during a pitchpole in shallow waters.
He repaired it - with the help and guidance of Catman - looks perfect - sails fast - weight ? unknown but i would think he gained a few lbs at least...

I assure you yours was not worse. It was bad, but not worse. And those pop-sickle sticks are heavenly for repairs ;-)

Dude - make carbon fiber popsicle sticks and sell them on e-bay. You could be the next Gougeons!
