Default Flying Pig Damage Assessment and update

One issue that hasn't been discussed is that eventually this boat will be
sold again and do you think that the new owner will have faith in the work
which has been done? You might do the greatest job in the world and build
it stronger than it was from the factory, but that doesn't mean that you'll
be able to convice the next buyer of that.

To me this is no different than buying a car that was involved in a major
accident. It will never be the same. Maybe some parts will be better than
new, but there will be things that get missed or re-done wrong.

As much as I hate to say it, I wouldn't put money back into this hull.
That would be throwing good money after bad.

I agree, collect the insurance, and go find a steel hull.
