Can anyone recommend a repair shop in the Phoenix area that can repair my boat? I hit a rock on the port aft side and also the lower outboard fin has a chunk taken out of it.

Oh shit that's more than a character adding (love) tap that probably won't buff out. Is that all paint damage or are there dents in there with it? Glad you're OK and the damage on the boat is fixable.

There *may* be some places that specialize in repaired damage like that to boats, but I'd find a good auto body shop that works on aluminum bodied vehicles like F150's and Land Rovers.
WOW, I saw a pic of one like that where the rock hit the bottom of the transom, broke the weld and ripped it back opening a big gash. They were river fishing and close to the boat ramp only thing that saved them from sinking all the way. You were lucky.
You might as a last resort check out an airplane shop if you have one around, my neighbor does aluminum repairs on older airplanes and has done some things like that..
Technically, your boat hit a boulder.

Just to close the loop, I found a local repair shop. Straightline Line Repair specializes in alluminum repairs. Most other boat shops are fiberglass guys. I'll let everyone know the outcome in February.

Awesome. Hopefully it will be like it never happened.

I hope you found a good shop, post a lot of pictures in February
Yes, please post an update. I had a very similar collision with a very famous "rock" in a well-known "bay" recently that caused a nice dent in my Tracker - no hole, not taking on water but worse than yours.
