[QUOTE="airshot, post: 519416, member: 1183"] If you can get to both sides they can be hammered out if not real deep dents. Keep in mind that the aluminum on better quality aluminum boats is tempered for strength. It does bend/ dent on a impact, but doesn't like to be bent back back very well ! It often cracks if moved to far that is why you need to consider how deep the dent and how sharp the creases/edges are. Most minor dents can be straightened , but if you can only access one side, then that makes it much more difficult. Often they can be filled with body filler because you can't access the back side. Not many dents that protrude out.....that would certainly make them easier to hammer back in !! [/QUOTE]
