[QUOTE="thill, post: 517277, member: 4972"] $800 is pretty absurd. I would find some metal road sign stock and I would heat it and bend it to the needed shape to fit tightly on the inside of the boat. Pop off/grind off the rivets in that area. Apply some sealant and rivet the patch into place. Then I would rough up the area with a grinder and use aluminum repair epoxy on the outside. I've had very good success with the one made by JB Weld. I think it's similar to their regular JB weld, but it has an aluminum filler instead of steel. Take your time and get the corners well-secured, and the boat should be okay [/QUOTE]
