Thank you for the suggestion, and pardon my ignorance, but what is
"Hall" :-)

<div>Courtney,</div>

<div>Depends. The spreader has mostly a
compression load on it from the mast and
the attachments at the deck. I don't recall but I'm
guessing they're aluminum. You can get aluminum
welded. I actually had the same thing with my first
boat only they hit the base of the mast and took a
big slice out of it with the lawnmower blade. I had
it welded and you couldn't even see where the weld
or the gash was. It was fine for the life of that
boat.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>If it's just a slice out of the spreader you can
get that fixed. If the tip of the spreader has been
destroyed then you're going to need a new spreader.
I wouldn't change the size of the spreaders (ones
chewed up at the end so just make a new end only
shorter and then match the other side). I think
that would change the load patterns and could be
dangerous.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I'd find a place that can do aluminum welding and
then take it in to them and see what they say, or to
a rigger.</div>

<div>My recently acquired Frers33 has a spreader
that was hit by the previous owner's lawnmower
blades while stored in his back yard, which chewed
up one end.<br>
<br>
Can this be reliably repaired and if so by whom,
and if not where can a least cost replacement be
had ?<br>
<br>
Appreciatively,<br>
