Default busted up boston whaler

hey i found this whaler the other day wedged up between some willow trees and one tree fell on top of it keeping it from floating awway. it had been there for quite some time and had rozos growing in it. i mannaged to get it towed back to my house and put it on a trailer. i want to restore it and there is a split in side of hull going from top to the waterline that i dont know if it can be fixed. i was just wondering if any of yall know if this can be fixed or if you know someone that can fix it?

Man, I'll take some nasty wrecks but, I'm not sure I'd take that one. That's a heckuva crack!

Before you spend any more time and/or money on that boat, check with LDWF to see if you can legally take ownership of the boat.
