Charlie,

Ignorance I'll always admit to.

But repairing a boat was not the issue.
Restoring your confidence and trust in the boat after a repair like this
was the point.

At what precise moment in time will you be able to declare that it is now
"all fixed" and is "better than it ever was"?
And right up until this magic point in time, how exactly will you feel
about your life on the boat?
Confident and secure, or cautious and worried?
Which way do you want to feel when you sail?
These things would be on my mind if my life was on the line.

We're not talking about fixing a leaky head here. Nor was this the last
good old boat left in the world.
Go find another with a sound hull and get on with enjoying life.
This whole "get back on the horse" bull**** don't cut it when the horse is
stone cold dead.

BTW, do you fix multiple popped bulkheads often ?
I know, you guarantee all work done or my money & life back right. ;-)

Sweet dreams,
Paul
