Replace ribs in aluminum fishing boat.

[ironshaper]

I have a 14' Sylvan fishing boat. Four of the hull support ribs are cracked. Can they be replaced? Where can I find parts?

I think you'll find it easier to have them welded than it will be to find replacements.

+1, but if you do find the need to replace, you will probably have to make a trip to your local fabricator and have them made...every boat is different so not really a universal rib for sale
