Yep, tire hit the fender and pushed it in. Excessively large speed bumps at a faster than normal speed???? Cut a turn too tight and hit a curb??? Drive the route again and check it out.

Just unbolt the fender and take it to the body shop and have it fixed, no need for the boat to sit at the bodyshop

I had my fender fixed this fall when someone backed into the front of the fender. One body shop doesn't do trailers but another one did. The estimate was to replace the fender (single axel) but the fender is welded on and I had the boat on the trailer but I loaded it away from that fender but it was still too close for a cutting torch. They did a fanastic job of straightening it out and it was much worse than what you have. The problem is one fender looks much better than the other and is obvious with the boat off the trailer. It still cost me the deductable and it was a $1,000 total to do the work. Personally, I would try to pull it out myself and use some touch up paint if needed.

You can also just buy a new fender for a couple hundred off the boat-mate site. Then take it to the body shop get it sprayed. Then re-bolt it shouldn't be more then 500 i think

Thought I would post up , it won't make you feel any better but here goes. We were leaving for lake powell one time with the boat and had to make a stop for something . Anyway we were leaving the store and turning onto the main street. I stopped the rig kind of in the middle of the street so I could swing it to make a right turn. Did the turn , was driving down the street and my friend says " I think you hit a car with the boat trailer" . Well I didn't feel it nor did I look in the right hand mirror on the truck when I turned. No one got a citation and we continued on . It did dent the fender but not too bad. Never did fix it and sold the boat to buy my current Moomba.
