[QUOTE="overboard, post: 421375, member: 6547"] I would do as Poorman suggested, just take it to a weld shop and don't just get the crack welded but get the ribs reinforced as well. By not doing that it's liable to crack again alongside the weld if it's a stress point. You took the floor out, otherwise you wouldn't have known about the cracks, I would be willing to bet there's others out there with the same "hidden" cracks that yours has, the owners just haven't seen them yet! Shouldn't cost that much, and like he also said, eliminate the middle man that's just going to cost you more. I just had the entire leading edge of a aluminum jet foot fixed, cost me 30 bucks at a local weld shop. [/QUOTE]
