It can be saved, just cost a bit. Go to a couple of boat shops to get bids.

Another thing to consider when repairing a deck lid is the extra weight the repairs may add to it, especially when repairing the ducktail area. Too much extra weight will exceed the spring capability, and you'll need to carry a broom handle with you.

Have a quote of $800-$1000 for repair. What do you think?
