[QUOTE="arkansasnative, post: 130574, member: 2328"] if your wanting a cheaper fix i used some aluminum repair rods by hobart today... all you have to do is heat up the boat metal (after proper cleaning!) with a propane or mapp gas torch and then use the rod like a brazing or filler rod for an oxyacetylene setup. after i fixed the 5 inch long gash in my boat i stabbed it with a flat head screwdriver a few times and hit it with a rubber mallet and it didnt affect it at all! i practiced on a scrap piece of aluminum before i started on the boat... turned out good enough for the price!
