Aluminum crack repair - Dallas Area - 06/17/21 03:08 PM
I have some cracks in the welds around my bow eye hook on an aluminum xpress boat. Any recommendations on where to get this fixed in the Dallas area? Would a general welding shop be better/cheaper than a boat repair place?

Man I’m not looking at it but if I was getting cracks around my bow eye I would be trying to figure out why. Trailer setup, bad bulk boards, trailer issues, bow roller not adjusted right., ect something. And me personally, I’m going to someone who welds on boats for a living. My .02

They fixed it right up in less than a day. Charged me 1 hour of work for $80. Will try to get some pics posted up of the repair.
