...and a good aluminum welder can make it look new for very little cost.![]()
As you can see in the picture to make the toon look new would take lots of welding.
Thanks for all the kind words.

I would not use insurance on this small a claim. The rate increases would be more than the claim.
MrG thanks for the advice. My boat shop is talking to the welder they use to confirm he can handle the alloy.
BigK - it was the 2008 at Lake Cumberland. Our dock is main channel. I am using our cousins slip because they allow 8'6" boats. it is the last slip away from land. There is nothing to mitigate the waves before they reach the slip. Our slip is closer to land and has some protection from the other dock. We are extending the slips in the spring to allow the bigger boats and I can move back next year. There was a house sale that fell through because the dock didn't allow 8'6" boats. That got slip owners' attention.
I had the port side replaced last year . Not a small claim ,over $3500 .Rates did not change .
As a former propert claims adjuster it always baffled me when someone had $1200 in damage, had a $1000 deductible and wanted the $200 check cut. Having previously worked in underwriting I would advise otherwise but some still insisted. Crazy.
i say thins because in my personal experience I have found that I can fix somthing or get it repaird quicker & with no collateral damage to other surfaces on the boat if I just bight the bullet and take care of it myself.
hate bringing in the boat in for 1 thing and then dealer messes up 2 more items in the process.
I'm supprised at how quick people here on this Fourm are so quick to recommend
"call your insurer" "make a claim"
"have your dealer fix it under warranty"
god forbid somthing is wrong with your boat you take care of it yourself.
