Had a run in with a levy. Its funny how you completly loose the ability to steer when the motor kills out.
I am looking to repair the damage for function not looks. I dont want the water to completly destroy the fiberglass. It spent close to a month in the water following the accident. It has been completly dried out and I am looking to patch it up.
Any idea's on what that would run me as far as price? I really dont want to scrap this boat.
Thanks!

I've seen worse, but it does look kinda pricey. Where are you located?

Try "Smooth as Glass" in Riverbank(out near Modesto). The owner posts here, but I cant think of his forum name. Shop is highly regarded. You might also call "Boatmasters" in Dublin for a referral to someone closer if needed. Drew, the owner, posts here as "Boatmaster".
