2025 Preseason...

Call and I went to the marsh to start clearing chinquapins from spots we'll be hanging gator lines in a couple weeks - and found water in our boat again. Same crack that had just been welded was splitting down the weld, presumably by the same ride down bad road on a stiff trailer that broke the switch and wire connection. I'm thinking crack should have been covered with a plate, but I'm no welder, just a hand without his boat again.

That sucks. Fatigued aluminum.

Fatigued aluminum.

Very much so. Our little mudboats are older than old.
