This looks as if it's been reglued in just slightly the wrong position and is coming lose due to glue failure.
Boat is early 80's, if I remember correctly 83. It's the red and black, looked at a few posts on here (there's one that shows the joints etc) and everything points at glued hypalon rather than pvc. Bow cover is different colour underneath etc. Though as yet I've done none of the tests to check the material been too busy trying to get the outboard going ! (that appears to be all sorted now).
Boat fabric seems to be in really good condition, no leaks or significant wear, seams look good too.
Just a couple of bits of gluing needed and the baffles (I am tempted to leave these). Though sorting the baffles would be my ideal, like the thought of the project and hope to be able to keep the boat going for a while !
