Storm damaged Wherry

In the big winds we had last week, a large alder tree fell and squashed one of the rental boats like a bug. The bit of log you see in the picture is just the end of 60 plus feet of tree trunk;  hundreds of pounds... the boat didn't stand a chance. It was such an impact that it bent the frame of the utility trailer that was stored just in front of the boat. I initially thought I could patch it back together, but but after a closer look it would be easier to just build another.
Rest in peace.

So sorry. For those of us who don't build many boats, it would be an emotional loss. I hope it was just a boat to you at this point.
