need help guys,
2 wknds ago at airboat races in inverness hit a rockand it cracked the hull and made the polymer pull from the hull on the front left and dead center rear. the blow appeared to make it(poly) look as if it shifted back when it hit cause the affected screw were angled that direction. had the crack repaired looks new. crack was on inside but not all the way through. after crack was repaired had bolts put back in around the outter perimeter.
took out for first run and it now ride like a bucking horse. you can get it up on plane driving normal and accelerate and run wide open and no problem. if ya accelerate hard itll jump on plane but then it feels like ya hit a log then starts bucking. let off the gas and smoothes out. before rock incident none of these ride issues. can the poly be shifted just a hair and causing this. had guy drive it and he said front is digging and need to shim motor up. it did plow a little before but now it seems worse and the bucking will scare the shit out of ya. any suggestion are greatly appreciated. scott
