[QUOTE="GTS225, post: 519531, member: 6678"] The problem is that you've got damage pulling in multiple directions. The branch may have pushed down on the center of the hull/keel, but that also pulled the sides in toward the "cave-in". You could try clamping a 4x4 across the gunwales right above the cave-in, and stick a bottle jack in between, pressing the cave-in back out, but you may need to apply force across the bottom too, to push the sides back toward their original positions. Good luck.....Roger [/QUOTE]
