Hi all,
After an unpleasant experience with a local marina ($140 to adjust some bolts on a roller and apply the equivalent of JB weld to patch a leak, which fell off after one trip), I managed to track down a guy who was willing to weld aluminum for a reasonable price. He completely repaired the keel, which was badly cracked, and capped it off with some marine sealant. Boat's been bone dry ever since. If you have a leaky aluminum boat, I definitely recommend giving him a shout- call Sam at 613-697-3115.

P.S. Will post a pic of our duck blind when we set it up this weekend... should be impressive.

Re: Aluminum Welding
Sounds like lousy work at first. Perhaps you could name the marina and save someone else the hassle and wasted coin.

Hm, I would- I did file a better business bureau complaint as well as posting a Google review. However, I think they sponsor this site so I don't know if naming them would be kosher... The patch job wasn't the only issue that we encountered.

lol,
After stating they are a board sponsor, you don't have to say too much!

Re: Aluminum Welding
I read the review and totally agree with you Nick. That is very poor customer service and a lot of coin spent. Pretty sad that they would even attempt to repair a keel with epoxy and to return the engine as repaired when it wasn't is even worse. And when he said he would post a review of you as a customer, well that really takes the cake. Pretty sad that a business would operate like this.
