Bruce you might try BassAnnie. Think at one time I saw a ad that they did. Guy in Olive Branch advertises on Craigs list once in a while also.
Any type of aluminum boat repair you can imagine, trailer repairs too. I am listed with the BBB and have an "A" rating. Call me at 901-487-2400, Thanks, Adam

Man that will let some water in
Do you mind saying what brand of boat this is? It might help some folks who are comparing products.
Boyce stallings in sardis is the best ive ever seen and his prices are very reasonable. He built me a trolling motor bracket out of aluminum and it looks 10x better than factoryAttachment 148856
Freshman I do not want to share that at this time. The company is working worth me to get it fixed and I want to let it play out. Maybe after all is done I will give that info. Because standing behind your product is important also.
I understand, wasn't trying to start anything. We've got a lot of folks on here that buy aluminum boats and I thought they would like to know. The company surely needs to stand behind it. Good luck with the repair.
My Boat has been repaired. I used Adam Webb basically because he was closest to me. His quote was very reasonable. He got it done very quickly and did a very good job. The Manufacturer did an excellent job of standing behind it's product. It is Lowe Boats. They worked with me directly. They did not require me to drive to the nearest dealer which was in Tuscumbia, AL about 2 hours away. They told me to find a local welder to fix the boat. I sent them the written quote on a Wednesday evening and I got an approval the first thing Thursday morning. So all worked out very well for something that could have become a real pain in the A$$.

It looks like the cracks have been packed full of mud. Or, is that just a poor pic?
He grounded the welds smooth.Quote:

That happened to a friend of mines G3 boat and G3 gave him a new boat.
Moores Feed in Pontotoc has an excellent welder named Marty. He fixed some cracks for me last week. Very reasonable. They can do axles, anything needed.
Which ways up?
Looked better in the original pic. Hope new paint helps to hide that weld job.
I swear I have to throw myself to the mercy of the jury, I am the victim of a case of bad photography and excessive glare. How did such a nice repair get cast in such a bad way? No Worries, Bruce was happy, good fisherman but I doubt NatGeo will be chasing him down for that new chief photog position. While I am at it, as a new member, this site's OS does not like fast typers!!
I repainted with a semi gloss and took another picture. I think what people did not like, which I do, is the smoothed out welds. Attachment 153272

I would not be upset with that repair. It looks great.
That's looks MUCH better. Remind me not to let you take any wedding pictures like the first ones you took!!! :)Quote:

It was the high gloss paint. I tried taking more pictures after the backlash, but all those looked the same. I then did the respray with a semi gloss and took these pics. But by then the posting was on later pages so I did not want to open that can of worms again. SO obviously Adam heard about if from someone and commented on the post today so I decided to post these. As I said all along I liked the job he did and his turn around time was outstanding.:ThumbsUp
Looks like he did ya proud. I suggest you chunk your camera tho. Hehehe
Agreed... Looks MUCH better in new pictures. Good job.
Thanks Bruce, Looks much better, ever need anything else just give me a ring. Lifetime warranty as always on anything I weld.
Now that's what I like to hear.....everybody getting along. lol I was gonna comment, but I don't know a good weld job from Adam's house cat. Cant beat those life time warranties. But who's life....yours, his, or the boats??? just stirrin the pot, and just kiddin.
Now that looks alot better then the other pics good job WW
Looks like a nice repair to me.
