I have an 18x42 aluminum tunnel boat I inherited from my dad. It sat a while and has some issues. I want to figure out if it would be worthwhile to repair or if I should try to sell as a project to someone.
There is a crack in the weld somewhere along the bottom. I am looking for recommendations for a shop near Houston. I would like to have it tested to see where the leak is (boat has a deck so I couldn't tell). Also, if possible I would like to have some spud pole and hand rails/tie-offs welded on. I'm on the west side, but I can take it wherever nearby. I'd rather get it done right than take it to the nearest place.
Boat also needs a new trailer and work on the engine. It may be more $$ than its worth but I want to get some quotes from people to see. I think it has more life left in it.
Engine is a 40 hp merc - 2003 or 2004. Last time I was out, it was not peeing as much water out as it should. I did not run it very long b/c I was nervous of overheating and water was coming in through the crack.
Any help is appreciated! Thanks.
