[QUOTE="Dantheman, post: 424781, member: 10731"] Do you have a thread going on your boat? It would be interesting to watch. I wasn't thinking of the aluminum angle as a temporary fix. My thoughts were to drill the end of the crack on the top cap so it stops spreading, weld it up, and then grind it all down smooth. Then I would weld the aluminum angle across the topcap from brace to brace. I have never repaired an aluminum boat so I appreciate your input. Your CAD drawing looks like you will be adding a piece of flatbar across the topcap where I would just use angle instead. [/QUOTE]
