[QUOTE="richg99, post: 452744, member: 4376"] [b]"I did not remove the dents because"[/b] Ha Ha... I frequent three or four fishing/boating sites. I mostly just read the posts. I do pick up on themes and attitudes by seeing so many posts. One theme that is prevalent is that the guys with fiberglass boats have to take extreme care of them. No nicks, cuts or scratches allowed. Fiberglass boat repair seems to come at a premium, and matching that Candy-Apple Red; silver flaked paint must be very hard, as the cost is very high. On the other hand, the guys on the Tinny Boat section often are very happy with their boats. One of the many reasons is that they don't have to worry about getting a scratch, or bumping the bottom and causing thousands of dollars of repair costs. Many were former owners of the fiberglass boats. They do readily admit that the fiberglass boats rode better in heavy weather. But, that is the trade-off for a craft that takes less care, and goes way shallower; tows better; burns a lot less gas and costs much less! Keep your nicks and bangs. I am keeping all of mine, too. To me, a car or a boat is a tool to get me where I want to go, so I can do the things that I want to do. rich [/QUOTE]
