    If it wasn't 9000 %$&#!#! degrees outside I would say you hit the same ice burg that sunk the Titanic. That's a heck of a hit!!

    Was going 10 mph, must have been just under the surface. No tree tops in sight.
    going to have to figure out a repair strategy once it quits draining.

    WoW I bet that stopped you dead in the water.

    A gun, like any other source of power, is a force for either good or evil, being neither in itself, but dependent upon those who possess it

    Is that a rib running down the front of the pontoon or is that just the two sides, welded together? I've never paid that much attention to the leading edge of a pontoon. If that's some sort of rib, that's going to make a repair tougher.

    Those pontoon mends can a problem, hope it's something a new bead will fix.
    Pass the "Sportsman Baton" on before you're gone, promote values for others to hunt and fish upon.

    We actually bounced off sideways but was quite a bang. Not a rib.
    The hole is ragged. But not huge sort of curled.
    I wish there was a reasonable tig welder around.
    I’ve tried the torch and alumalite rods on other projects and not impressed.
    JB weld now has a marine formula they are bragging on.
    I might call them to check it out.
