Old Sears 14 ft Hull Damage ( Repairable? )

[sparksnsuch]

I have a old 14' Sears aluminum boat, that my late Father had given me. A brisk Wyoming windstorm picked her up like a leaf and threw her about a hundred yards into the field next door snaping a fence post off as she went over the barb wire fence. Got a small tear in the hull above the splash rail and a big dent in the bottom near the stern, and the gunnels are bent in on both sides pretty good near the bow (I have pictures I could email) I am absolutley sick over this. Dad and I spent a lot of time fishing together in this boat when I was a kid, she has a lot of sentimental vaule. Is she repairable? Please feel free to email me at: heartofwyoming@earthlink.net<br />Thanks,<br />Dave

Yes it is very repairable....email me:flyboymark@aol.com and I will return detailed simple instructions on what to do. Send me pics of the damaged gunwhale rails.<br />I've been in the marine welding and fabricating business for 20 years and aluminum boat restoration is one of the main things I do. When you email me I will have a list of questions for you to answer.
