Anyone know anyone who might be able to pull this smashed aluminum gunnel out......

I'm looking towards anyone that might be able to fix this...........

IT is a long story about how it happened, but just know this, the Navionics maps, at least the latest updates do not include a channel marker buoy out in front of fenton boat ramp. I've been through there a million times. I was NOT running on GPS, but was mostly running on history.

I've been through there hundreds and HUNDREDS of times.....I know the buoys move.......This one was completely blocked out by the shadow of the bridge, and the lighting on the bridge, really jacked up my vision..

I was only running about 20mph or so.......and BOOM.

No one was hurt, no one was ejected, and the boat didn't sink so the only thing hurt is my Pride and this purty big dent.

Insurance Co is having a hard time finding someone to fix, and I"m having a hard time finding someone to fix.

We shall see.

Later,
