So I’ve got damage to the keel of my aluminum boat. This is causing some loose rivets and a leak.
Luckily it’s covered by insurance.
A questions for the group:
1: Does it seem reasonable for everything (floors, consoles etc) to need to be removed for a new keel?
I’ve had one shop say it’s required, one say it’s not. The labor cost to remove and re istall everything is nearly $6K!!
2: Any consensus on a reliable repair shop?
Thanks in advance for your opinion.
