Hi, I have a 16 foot Aluminium fishing boat that has sprung a leak. Any recommendations of boat repair shops in the GTA that would be able to help me out?
Thanks in advance!

Jb weld is good. I used a marine putty and it looks like play dough. Dries grey and hard. It stopped all leaks and takes a beating.
Not sure where you live but if it is rivet you can hammer it tight again also someone else mentioned about the puddy I hit a rock in my boat years ago it punched a hole the size of quarter used the aluminum repair puddy followed the instruction and it never leaked ,
Thanks for the feedback folks, I greatly appreciate it!
