I've seen boats with much worse damage still running. I think they also make bolt on skeg guards that could probably cover it up and hide it. Either way, a good welder/metal worker should be able to fix that

I broke one of ours a few years back and Tommy jr from SouthHarbor fixed it.Perfect weld

Go with the skeg guard, inexpensive, easy to install.

DAMMMM BK!

Yeah, it was shipped that way from where I bought it in Wisconsin (The Boat House). I would not do business with them again. They blamed everyone but themselves for it.

Putt in a shipping claim or refuse to pay,

You should be able to get enough of a refund to at least cover the cost of the repair if you complain hard enough,

I always buy anything I’m having shipped with a credit card then just put in a fraud claim and refuse to pay until it’s resolved when something like that happens, , they may try to screw you but can’t fight the bank that holds their credit card account, it usually properly motivates vendors to remediate the issue
