Post up some pix of your new rig

Depending on what parts are missing and whether they were factory parts, some hardware was added to some boats by the dealer at delivery to the dealership or when sold.

Pix will help w/ dent removal & dings/scrapes dealt with.

If the hull dents are severe enough, they may have work hardened the aluminum and you need to be careful, removing the dent can lead to more damage.
