Did your boat ever get hit fishing

I don't really have a big up date but my insurance is on board with everything. Fish and Boat Commission has all their info needed. My biggest issue is someone wanting to do the work. Dealer aint squat, local guys don't seem to know what tig welding is. Need to find the right guy for an estimate than I'll be on the right track. Even if work doesn't get done to fall sometime will be ok. Don't want it to cut into my smallie time too bad.
