DF150 Hydrofoil Crack

I don't want to discuss how I did this but it happened. This is on my pontoon boat. Any easy repair options or take it to someone to weld it?

I doubt it will hurt anything to use as is. Of course I and everyone else will tell you to tilt that L/U up to slow the corrosion or barnacle growth after you clean sand, prime and paint it.
A media blast might be in order.

thanks. ya I need a lift for it. it lives in the lake 6 months out of the year and won't tilt all the way up out of the water

If it's a Suzuki there is an up tilt limit which can be adjusted by hand. You gotta be careful though many if not all Suzy's have a solid morse cable which pushes the throttle, but if it bends too much, because the motor trims too high, it can break. A braided cable which pulls seems like a better idea to me.
