But it does look
like it will do the job, and its fits right in with the rest of the boat.

Jeff, you are clearly and idiot and a dangerous one.
1) There is no evidence that it will "do the job."

Its lasted for 10 years - that's longer than you've been sailing! And Neal has sailed
further in that time than you've ever dreamed of.

2) A bent boom will effect resale value of even a cheap boat like the 27.

Doubtful. If Neal used the several hundred dollars saved to buy IBM or MSFT stock, it
would be worth more than the boat now.

3) Now you admit that it's not a "proper" repair.

No - but it is not required that all repairs be "proper." I'd have to admit that most of
the work I've done on boats is not up to the standards that I would expect of
professionals - but neither is most of the work I've paid for. I'd much rather have a
"half-assed" repair that I understand fully, than one that looks "proper" on the outside.
In Neal's case, he always has the option of replacing the boom at the first sign that
something is amiss. Since he knows where the pipe is located, he should be able to spot a
potential problem before it fails.

Sorry Boobie - you're still showing your ignorance.

Good lord, man.

Good Lord, Indeed!
