Yes.

If you cannot find anyone near Naples----Dave Wesseldyke of WESCO in Jenison, Michigan might be worth a phone call. I have seen many damaged aluminum heads come into his shop for repair over the years. He is an excellent welder and has the necessary machines in his shop to make it right.

Dave is at down south at the Poker Run in Georgia this weekend somewhere with the Boostane boat and should be returning by Monday.

Dave's shop number is (616) 662-2250

I would remove any electronics before welding.
