boat quearie

gday, have a 4.7 savage osprey that has a bit of bottom sheet damage. it has been repaired, but it got me to thinking about welding new bottom sheets. Has anyone done this to their boat or had someone do this to their boat? What did it cost? Could a handyman with good mig welding skills do this themselves with the right gear? The ribs are floating so that wouldnt be an issue. Any advice, phone no,s of people who could do this, would be appreciated!!!

Few whiting and herring off back beach bunbury last week. Heaps of small ones. Only 4 keepers. On beach and tube worms.

Ali is definately a different level of misery to migging steel so I'd be careful about doing it as a 1st project.

Try Ian McCrae down next to the service jetty where the pro boats unload.He is spot on with a TIG welder,which is better than MIG on thin ali sheeting
