[QUOTE="bassboy1, post: 55334, member: 55"] Yes, bang out however you will, but keep in mind, aluminum work hardens. So, right now, the bow is weaker than before then dent, and when you reshape it, it will be weaker. That looks like it happened by powerloading on the trailer, with a real weak bow. Were it me, I would get a piece of 3/16 or so aluminum, and cut it to cover the whole front there. Then attach it with 3/16 dia. 1/2 inch grip length pop rivets sealed with 3M 5200 sealer. This should keep you from getting any more damage to the bow, and probably stiffen it up a bit too. [/QUOTE]
