Repairs continue. Actual hole is 100% repaired. You can't tell from the outside where the damage was at all. 100% vacume bagged repair is probably tougher than new- she is nice and stiff! Now on to the deck refinishing! Will

:: We are now well on our way to being fully repaired. The

:: beautiful job. We will be hard pressed to tell just
:: where that port tacker hit soon! We are in the process
:: of refinishing the interior and picking out the new
:: nonskid deck color. I'm trying to be OK with the fact
:: that several features will be nicer than what I have on
:: my own boat....

:: You know you want it. Call me and you can pick out your

:: :: :I think there is if the price isn't too high. Other

:: :: example, a builder in L.A. recently started production
:: :: on Martin 24s at a reasonable asking price. Colgate 26s
:: :: are in production. Not to mention Alerion 28s.
