I contacted them to ask the proper glue but didn't get anything so I used a sikaflex 291 will try it out this week.<br /><br />Also one of the blue pointy caps at the bow fall but I haven't contacted them to ask if they had replacement as they had yet to answer my previous e-mails... at this point I am thinking of 3D printing the part myself...<br /><br />I also have some dent I would like to fill at the bottom but not sure what's the best material and the paint code to make it look nice again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8198683431488215954.post-4436097641971080062017-12-14T12:08:24.653+10:002017-12-14T12:08:24.653+10:00Thank you for your comment.

I am in the U.S. and so maybe they don't have any imported here? It seems almost everything about the Quickboat on the internet is at least two years old. Are they still in business? Should I wait before buying a Porta Boat in hopes that the Quickboat is going to be available here soon or should I just get a Porta Boat and go fishing? Any thoughts or insight?<br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />SteveSteve Cattshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07249284775037795346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8198683431488215954.post-50835466814224877522016-04-09T06:42:01.502+10:002016-04-09T06:42:01.502+10:00Hi Ant8,
