[QUOTE="MrGiggles, post: 476565, member: 22613"] I never had a whole lot of luck with those aluminum rods either. Even if you could get them to work, I'd be worried that they would eventually crack with all of the flexing that area is going to see. Honestly I probably wouldn't put too much work into it. Maybe if you're never going to be on big water and it's basically a pond hopper. I just wouldn't feel safe in it on big water. I had a 14' Quachita with a similar gash. I did what was done to your boat, fastened a patch over the hole with 3M 5200 over it. It did work, but I never felt safe in that boat and left it sitting by a local private pond that I like to fish, as a rowboat. [/QUOTE]
