How do u figure that ????
As soon as u start welding ,,its heat ,,does not matter if the weld is 1 inch or 4 inches ,,,u just got to do it in steps ,,,,??!!
How hard is it to cut a flat piece of Aluminum and weld it on after u cut the old part straight,,,and then u just take a grinder and shape it in what ever shape it should be .
Cost me 65 USD in a shop !!!!
How much do u think a finished skeg is ???
And itas nothing diffrent exept it has the shape already befor u weld .
I don't get it ,,,i quess ?????!!!!!
