We got lucky and were able to do minimal work.

Al did a great job and Peter and Chris did well for me in taking care of the issues and not letting the job get out of control..................... I'm happy that I got it over there to get it all fixed up and solid again.

We'll see what fuel gets thrown at us that will dissolve the new resin................................

Guess we will deal with that then.................
It seems that ethanol is not only bad for the world's food supply(corn prices have skyrocketed) but also bad for the materials used in building boats.

Glad to know your issues weren't as bad as they could have been...
