Not how I wanted to start my season… :(

Well, now that hunting season is over, I spent the last 2 weeks prepping the boat for this spring and summer, new fluids, filters, etc… Also, added another 12 GARMIN for dedicated LS, and cleaned up the wiring. So today me and the 3 kids load up and headed to Lanier, bite was slow, but we still had fun. Loaded up the boat at 3:30 to head home and found the bow of the boat has a HUGE crack across the welds right below the trolling motor. Can anyone here recommend an aluminum welder that has done hull repair before? I want to fix this ASAP, because it will continue to get worse. The boat is a 2013 Tracker Pro165

Found B&B on google, but they didn’t specify if they did aluminum repair. Do you happen to have the # for the Fab shop? You an PM it to me, if not, I’ll reach out to B&B Monday morning.

Looks like you may need additional structure support to hold that weld together. Aluminum welds are strong but there is a lot force on that joint
