Cold Weather + Ice + Fiberglass Boat Hull = ????

Got an older model Starcraft 14'9" (i say 15, Tittle says 15)

Fiberglass, the gelcoat inside and out has had it, i plan to have her all ReCoated/painted this spring... anyway

I took the mooring cover off today to get my battery, and other electronics out cause of the cold temps.

In the back of the boat in the corner there is about 1" of ice... i have the Bilge drain open but the water must of came in and froze before it all emptied out the drain.

It's very cold so obvioisly the ice is frozen to the boat and there is no breaking it with anything unless i want to go all the way thru the boat

Under most cases, will this mess the boat up? what should i do?

I don't want to open the boat in march and see a crack where the ice was

please give me any tips for what i can do for the rest of the winter

The motor is Winterized by a prof. Marine Tech and is in my basement. so no worry there... just worrying about the hull!!!



While i'm on the subject: what is the Approximate cost for quality supplys to Re-Paint, Re-Gelcoat and Wax a Average size/Height 15' Fiberglass boat? i don't need to know the cost of Brushes or Spray Guns cause we already have all that........Just the Cost of Paint,Primer, ETC.


thanks alot

Mike
