Thought I would post some pics of the Alumacraft I got from Dave(Flint River Pirate). Still got some work to do, but at least she sits straight now.







In case any of you are wondering, that is a Frame machine to straighten cars with! HAHAHA, I still might replace the top rail where it got squished down from the tree and us attaching the binder to it. Then I've got to get some more rivets and buck them in.

Nice job! How'd it get bent?

A tree fell across it.

I was waiting on you to say "Setting the hook"

Great job, when you have the tools you can make it happen

He didn't make that happen,someone else made that happen.

No, I did a lot of that. He just let me use the frame machine and do all the work. He "supervised"....and said when to say when.

BOY THAT LOOKS LIKE A GREAT JOB OF FIXING A BAD BENT UP BOAT, YA DID GOOD.

RiverRunner, guess you know JT's just joking about someone else using the same line...

Ha, yeah. Someone sent me a message saying that is probably what he meant.

Nice job, RR. Sure is better than beating it with a hammer. You'll have a nice boat when you get it all done.

Looks good bud! When you fix it come back up here and lets catch some shoal bass!

When you first posted the damaged boat I thought it was time to send it to the recycle yard. Congratulations for sticking with it and doing an impressive job.

I too thought it a waste of time to even "try" to straighten that metal out!! Good job. I am impressed....
