[QUOTE="daniel_loz, post: 94159, member: 1703"] My 1448 Monark has one spot where the gunwhale is dented in. Its not a sharp dent and is towards the center of the boat. Is there any way to straighten this out on my own? My boat was a work boat in its prior life and as such has plenty of "character." I can deal with all of it because the boat was also beefed up substantially with new aluminum and welding to compensate for the abuse it sustained. I would just like to straighten the gunwhale out if possible. There is a guy somewhat locally that specializes in welding aluminum and stainless steel. I have been told he does lots of aluminum boat repair and if I have too I will see if he cant remove the dent. Anybody have any tricks up their sleeve? [/QUOTE]
