Location: Illinois-Indiana | Well the storm the other night nocked down a tree branch right on top of my baby. I have a dent in the top of the rail and it also dented the side from the impact.
Does anyone know of someone who works on aluminum boats?
I live in the south suburbs of Chicago.
Thanks!!!!!!!!! |

Why not wait until the end of the season and then just have Crestliner pick it up from a local dealer and fix it back at their shop? |

| Dents are no excuse to stop fishing, holes are a different story. I once saw a guy in a aluminum john boat that looked like it was in a car accident. I was impressed, he was still fishing and probably caught more. I just kept my distance at the boat landing. You're not worried about image are you? I hope it wrks out for you. Capt Bigfish |
