Hey, Jerry

If you build it, it can be repaired. I once wrecked a WD Lightning 17 by running it through a class 6 rapid - broke it into 11 pieces, including breaking it in half and losing the entire cockpit section to the fast water. I rebuilt it successfully by replacing the missing pieces with newly crafted sections that I shaped from scraps. I did not end up with the most beautiful kayak as a rebuild but if you didn't know what you were looking at, you'd never know it was broken. I can't see the image you posted, at least not until I get home but it can be repaired quite well. I will take a look at your image when I get home this afternoon and let you know what I think you can do to make it better,
