Maybe, maybe not. Let me know what your eyeglass
prescription is when you get to be my age.


Those two pictures aren't the best to tell much of anything.


They do if you know what to look for.

... Maybe basic shape.


Which is one of the most important things about a boat, no?

It's all splotchy and dull.


Correct. But then, it's not finished yet. Besides, that's
only on the surface. Superficial, you know?

It's shaped like a Dyer but maybe no chine there.


Good! My boat does not have a chine. This is an important
observation.

... But it's
hard to see if there's a chine because the pictures are dull or the hull is dull and
splotchy. So gimme a break, please....


Give you break? You make remarks without observing first,
and then demand respect for your uninformed opinions? I *am*
giving you a break, I am helping you learn better.
