oldphart Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 ~~~~Well after finally getting the front deck off the boat got a good look at the crack, and decided to get it welded.

Sinker Posted April 27, 2017 Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 I know an amazing aluminum welding guy, but he is north of port hope, near garden hill. All he does is aluminum, and he has all the tools to do it right. If you want to go there, send me a PM and i will give you his contact. My bet is he will suggest not welding it, but fabricate a piece to make a patch, seal, and rivet it on over the crack. He has done some pretty amazing things for me with aluminum. Jobs other aluminum guys said couldnt be done. S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldphart Posted May 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 ~~~~Well as I said took my boat over to Bowmanville to a guy named Garrnett dropped it off Sat morning and he calls back at 5:30 boats ready, so I went and got her, he did a fantastic job of clearing the old gunk I had on there and welded it up, and on the inside he puts some heavy tack welds, his quote for the job was $200, we agreed it was worth $250. Highly recommend him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
