You cannot own a boat and not have to repair it at some point. Maybe your flooring is spongy, you have a thru-hull fitting leaking, or you have punched a hole in the hull from hitting debris in the water. Start a thread here to get those repairs underway. Many members have undertaken boat-rebuilding projects, and it is their tips that can save you time and money and hopefully get you back on the water with plenty of fishing season left.
