Replacement Panels

[wyldwolf460]

Does anyone know where to get replacement fence panels? I hit a big swell and it dented my panels in the front of the boat and blew the panel off my front gate on my Sweetwater. I fixed it for the time being but now the panels are wrinkled. Trying to price them out or if I should just go thru insurance. Thanks. I added a pic of how it looks after beig banged back in.

Here's the damage

unless you have small kids a lot of people are removing them and leaving them open, its a lot less wind to push you around, or you can buy sheeting in several colors and pop rivet back

looks like the wave over the front got you, one of the things the manufacturer need to address

Yea the wave came over the front and was too much force for the metal since it's so thin and has nothing backing it

Pontoon specialists has the aluminum sheet metal to replace the damaged ones. I replace all my paneling with it and looks great, has the same embossed lines as yours...

That looks really good! How did you install it? Were you able to slide it into the track or did you rivit it on? I ended up going thru insurance, but sure it'll probably happen again in the years to come. Wish it had some support behind it to stop it from happening

I've had pontoons/tritoons for 30 years and have never submarined my bow. I consider it luck to have never have happened as our lakes is wide, deep and often windy/wavy.

The tritoon with strakes runs especially nose high when trimmed out and it's much more seaworthy than the old pontoon.
