Can a cav. plate be repaired by putting a 3/16 s/s plate on the bottom of the cav. plate?? I made a template that matches the plate.I was going to use that putty epoxy and bolt a stingray on it. Would It hold :confused:

How much is broke off? Maybe you could just make your own stingray shape out of the plate when you do it.

Made a hydrofoil from s/s. :D It is mounted at the frount of the cav. plate with 1/4 20 bolts and the bolt that holds the round plate with the little fin on it :p Man it works great :D The boat now planes out at 19 mph instead of 25 mph. No loss of speed 50 mph :)
