I mentioned in a previous post that I had a really great pro back Made in the USA A2000 XLC that had a run in with a dog. I dug it out of storage and decided to post a few pics to see what the general consensus would be if it was repairable or not even to bother. I dont even think it could be fixed it would need alot of help I think. It breaks the heart to see it like this.
WHOA! First thought was that scene from Jaws where Quint slides down that back of that boat and, well, ya know. See if there's a shark tooth snagged in the lining..?
Perhaps you could have it cut down and turned into a conventional back with a new strap. New piping and a full or partial reline should make it useable. One things for sure, no one else will have one like it!
