[QUOTE="airshot, post: 516081, member: 1183"] Depending on the amount of metal that has to be moved, Aluminum in boats is tempered, meaning it can be bent one way but often cracks when bent back... Unfortunately your rollers are poorly positioned and probably don't have enough rollers to support the hull. If you can't reposition and add rollers, the switch to bunks, easier to add them on. Tough call on your dent with being able to actually see it. Minor dents can be hammered out, but steep dents can crack when the metal is pushed back. Good luck and keep us posted. [/QUOTE]
