Crack welding Jackson 4fun

[Gail R]

A buddy of mine managed to put a crack in the hull of his Jackson 4Fun. He is a OC boater who dabbles in Kayak when his knees get sore
Does anyone know if they can be welded or how to fix?

Thanks for any suggestions!!!!!

IMHO everything can be welded. If it holds is a different issue.
I suggest using the Search funtion on the site and look for topics related to Weld. There is a lot of info out there mostly mostly positive experiences. I have welded a number of boats and to date have yet to experience a weld failure.
Is the boat out of warranty - if not check with Jackson first. He might be surprised!

What model 4Fun is it? It is my understanding that the pre-2007 and new 'Classic' boats can succesfully hold a weld, but the new style Funs are made of crosslink plastic and very difficult to weld. I would call Jackson before I put a torch anywhere near a new style boat.
