Aeromarine build quality
I just wanted to say to anybody thats new or looking for a hull and is wondering the quality of certain builders of hulls. I have a Aeromarine Avenger Pro which I took out today and while I was on my third and last tank of the night I must have either hit a rock or cut it to hard at full throttle either way my boat went about 10 ft in the air and up 15 ft onto shore flipping many many times. I actually had enough time to cut the engine in mid flight. All I could think is I have a big yellow rock that used to be a boat. I didn't even want to walk over and look but I did. To my surprise there was no major damage now this is not the first time I have run my boat onshore at full throttle with no major damage. These hulls are built tough. I've only had hulls from Proboat, Aquacraft and Aeromarine so I can't really speak on any others but I do know that these things are solid and speaking as a newbie these are great boats. Here are some pics of the damage how do I go about fixing this or could I just run it as is with no problems?

In my opinion aeromarine have always been a benchmark for quality in the industry. They have found the right balance between weight and strength - performance and quality.
Glad to hear she will live to fight another day

RE: Aeromarine build quality
It makes me feel good knowing I the quality put into these boats. I really need to get her patched up I've had her out since the crash and she still runs no problem. I'm looking to paint her but can't decide if I should do it or sending it to Bonzi Sports. I've already gotten a quote which is what I figured the amount to be. I'm sure it will look good but a part of me would like to have the pleasure of painting it myself but I would need to buy the equipment to paint it. I almost thought of doing it with spray paint but the quality probably won't be that good so I'm still doing some research on painting the hull myself and whats involved. Any suggestions?
