[QUOTE="Douglasdzaster, post: 486079, member: 27803"] Hello everyone, I’ve been working on this boat for about a year off and on. Still have more to do like led lights for night etc. but finally brought the motor back to life running good and trustworthy. Neighbor called this morning before I had been outside and said a tree was laying on my boat. I hit the porch quick and suddenly felt sick. I was looking at it wondering how bad it was and the boat moved a little. The tree was being barley held up by an old picked fence. I went and grabbed what I needed to shore up the tree. Then started carefully cutting limbs from around the boat until I pulled it out of harms way. Started inspecting everything and it’s not as awful as I expected. Good thing I used good heavy marine vinyl when I built the seats. Not a puncture anywhere. Motor is fine. A limb had landed and was resting in a rod holder on the corner in the back. It caused a previous weld to crack closer to the transom. I’m posting some pics. Does anyone know how to repair the spot ?[ATTACH type="full" alt="495E5059-9C39-428A-847C-C238E82A50DC.jpeg"]110262._xfImport[/ATTACH] I haven’t welded in years and never on aluminum. [/QUOTE]
