Those are actually both after pictures but no question it took on a lot of water. The board was sitting for 5 or 6 hours on the dock in a perfect position to get the water out but when I put it on my truck there was still a thin line coming out both of those cracks on the bottom. I checked on it today when I got home. I have it sitting in the sun, still leaking...time to get my shop vac out..... ;D

I think I may take a hybrid approach. Take off the snap fix glass, patch the veneer in 3 or 4 places, do the rails in carbon and then glass and vac bag. WTF, if I screw it up just sand it off again. Ideally I'd like to get it dry as possible inside and then do it so the patina remains but its good to use again. Even without water it was heavy after the fix....lots of resin I think. Not sure I can do it justice but it's worth trying.
