[QUOTE="wasilvers, post: 131695, member: 1776"] Yeah, I still havn't decided what to do. They do it yourself er in me says I can learn and do it. Then the other side of me is pricing new hulls in case I screw it up totally. I'll probably just patch the crack myself - it's think aluminum and I'm pretty sure with practice, I can patch it without an issue. As to welding the whole keel... It doesn't leak now so I'd just be doing prevenative work. Why spend the cash if I might sell the boat next spring... I should contact my local shop that does all the work on my cars and see what they would charge to patch her up. Anyway, I'll be working on it in a few weeks once tax season is over, then I'll hit the ground running. Will [/QUOTE]
