[QUOTE="fowlplay, post: 306561, member: 11177"] Bottom damage repair. Hook , dents. Help needed. I have a 2005 14/48 tracker grizzly that I purchased new in 05. I have done many mods to boat front console transom mods for outboard jet, camp paint ect. I love my boat. Last mod was upgrading from a 50/35 to a 70/50 jet. While setting up new motor height I laid a straight edge accross bottom of boat and realized I had a nasty hook in the bottom of boat starting at the transom and running toward bow for approx. 12" this is mostly from rock impacts over the past 8 years. This hook is approx. 1/2" deep just in front of transom and tapers to flat over the 12" span. This hook is driving the bow down when on plane and costing me mph I'm sure. Anyone ever deal with issue before and win. Beating the hook out is not an option as there is a floor in back of boat(welded in) . I've been contemplating some sort of filler (no bondo guys) or uhmw in between keels. Suggestion are appreciated. [/QUOTE]
