| Matt,
I have a buddy that used to run a big I/O boat and we broke a skeg off on the river one night. He owns a body shop and has aluminum welding equipment. Actually was not terribly hard repair for him to do. He simply cut out a plate of aluminum to the rough shape, beveled the edges, welded it on and then shaped the whole thing with a big body sanding tool. I mostly stood around holding tools for him, but I think we had it fixed up and looking darn near like new in about 1 1/2 hours. This was a big heavy 27' boat with twin 350 IO's and he never had any problems with that repair. I suspect a shop will charge you some bucks for that repair, but it should be able to be done. Good luck.
