Pontoon Boat & Deck Boat Forum

Soooo, my wife took our new pontoon out last summer with some of her clueless friends and sure enough, banged it into a dock. Are there any good tips/ideas on dent removal? I may not be able to access this area from the rear, but will try...

if it didnt cause a leak let it be

Sorry, I tried to include a pix, but it didn't work -- not sure how to do it.

The dent is in the fence, not the pontoon.

Here's a pix...

Holy Pixels batman.. That is one big pic

There, I think I fixed it...

How about an oversized sticker of some nice boobs.

Oh my! A new place to hang a fender!

No creases in it so should be able to get behind it and tap it out with body hammers and then buff the paint, most of it will disappear

Thanks Herb, I was wondering if some sort of suction cup dent puller would work.

I've also seen a process online where you spray nitrogen or something like that on it to get it super cold and then hit it with s heat gun and the dent pops right out (this was for cars, I would think it would work here too).

Give it a try, it is aluminum, and the cold and heat would get it moving

On a year old boat, I'd be ordering new aluminum from the manufacturer through your selling dealer. It's going to be enough for an insurance claim after labor.

I think you could pull the seat out and carefully massage it and buff it out

How do you work it out, with a rubber ball peen hammer or something like that?

Use rubber one first and never use a ball ping,it made for heavier use, use body hammers, go to harbor freight, but with aluminum you can use hard pieces of plastic to push it out a little a a time, don't get in a hurry
