Boat damaged by forklifts. I’m not concerned with scratches or paint. The dent is concerning. Am I cooked?

I have a 10 ft Tracker Topper with a 5hp Nissan, 12v motorguide trolling motor.

What would you all say this is worth for the hull,motors, and trailer? All of it is in good working condition. Motor has been serviced and the boat doesn’t leak at all.

Just curious. Thanks in advance.

Finally got the 1436 wet today, still need to finish a few things but she can at least get out there!

What method would be best to attach guide-on posts to this trailer/step?

A buddy fabricated and welded in the deck and hatch and ran the wire piping. I finished up the wiring and mounting the fish finder. Very excited with how everything turned out. Motor only has about an hour of run time lol

Hey guys so i recently bought my first brand new boat. A grizzly 1754ut for a fishing/duck hunting combo build. Ive decided on havoc timber camo and wondered if you guys think the dark or lighter color would be better for the spotted portion of the pattern.

Note: I live in rural northern Indiana so my hunting would be done Sept thru dec. Mostly river and lake/pond thanks everyone

Here’s my ‘01 Xpress 1546 DB. Going to upgrade my motor to a new 4 stroke soon. I’ve been running it with an old 25 HP 2 stroke that never has run well (seems like I can only get 50-75% power out of it).

Currently on the fence between a 20, 25, and 30. Boat is technically only rated for up to a 25 tiller. Typically it is just me, maybe a buddy, and some fishing gear. I also never really have a need to run more than 2 miles to a spot. Any recommendations or insight is much appreciated. Also would love opinions on jack plate vs no jack plate. I currently do not have one.

I have roughly traced the wood for the transom, thank you again everyone for helping me get this project on its way :)

A handcrafted wooden fishing boat inspired by traditional Chinese river boats.

Built with dark walnut tones, detailed cabin structure, hand-tied fishing nets, and layered wooden decking. I wanted it to feel quiet and lived-in rather than overly polished — more like something resting along an old Jiangnan water town.

The small details are probably my favorite part:
hand-wrapped rope bindings
miniature fishing net setup
curved wooden hull lines
open cabin and layered roof design

Works nicely as desk decor, bookshelf display, or for anyone into maritime history, Asian aesthetics, or miniature craftsmanship.

I am having trouble making sense of this. There’s 5 wires going into this 4 pin connector and they’re oddly color coordinated for me since google doesn’t have much on this topic. What do I buy to fix this? It’s a boat trailer. no brakes.

No idea why i have the whole place to myself. Its pretty cool

My 10 foot 60 year old boat! Got it for $200. Painted, titled, wired, and odds and ends prolly $350 in it.Been out once with my 7 year old. Little tippy, I put the battery in the front, running a small trolling motor right now. I wish I could give him some shade but all the tops I can find are way to wide.

Water ready I traded for a 7mm

I bought my first boat a while back and the transom needs to be replaced but I don’t know where to start any help would be appreciated
