Anyone know of a good aluminum boat welder in the San Diego Area?

Is that a crack on top of a some kind of fix?
If so, ya may need some extra supports.

From what I've observed, many people seem to use those type boats for a bit heavier duty operations than possibly intended by the builder.

I am not a welder but those "welds" seem very ordinary. And that is being generous. :skillet: :skillet: :skillet: :skillet: :skillet:

I believe the west coasters take them thangs out to waters where you and I would say, "Fu-get-aboutet!"

(not to say this is what happened to this one)

Wasn't there a small CC one floating around on the world wide web with a shark the size of the hull, inside it?

Not over on that coast.......I believe for awhile there was a smallish CC one with a shark inside the length of the hull.
Of course the owner was very manly.
