Damage :( What do I do?
Please help the roof collapsed where I was storing my 98 Outback for winter. Have a look what should I do about the holes in the top deck. None through the hull.

Sorry that happened... what a bummer. That's a pretty big hole through the top. I'd get a couple of good fiberglass shops to take a look and get their professional opinion. You may want to look into diminished value as well, depending on the extent of the damages. Good luck!

WOW sorry to see that bro. Honestly i think they will call it a total unless your paying out of pocket. Thats more glass damage then the boat is valued at on the market 7 to 12K.
I would follow Brains advise and get it looked at to see what it will cost though. If its insured might look at what they will give you as a total and look into a newer boat. If thats not an option you can sometimes get the insurance to Total the boat and then buy it right back from them as a salvage title. Then use your extra money from insurance to repair the boat.Malo <--- Means--Evil or Mean One. This explains a lot.

I don't think it is as bad as you think unless there is damage below the deck.

Where are you located? Depending on your location that might not be too bad of a repair given a few other obstacles being met.
If you can find someone with the same model boat that will let you pull a mold from there boat matching the damage area you can easily repair yours. Nodamage will be done to the donor boat. Have a glass shop pull a mold then build a part and glass it to you your boat. we have done this on many race boats in the past. Sounds easy but it is a time consuming process so insurance might be the best bet, if it applies.REALLY????

11 Outback V hit this spot on. You are going to need have a mold made to recreate the rear end of your boat, we fixed a similar issue on an X-15.
