Okay, so not too long ago I did a dumb thing. I used cheap rope to tie a canoe into the back of a truck. Long story short, I now have a canoe with a distinct curve up and to the starboard. It's a polymer type boat with aluminum gunwales and supports. The aluminum gunwales are what is causing most of the bend due to their reshaping in the "incident". Any idea on how to fix this? Can it be straightened? Can I replace the gunwales with wood? I open to ideas, because the twisted shape makes the canoe a bit less than stable.
