Does that mean you're not coming over to help with the boat?
Heck, if Joes buys the beer, we should be able to get all
that stuff knocked out in a weekend.

Looks pretty good from this angle:

But this scratch might take a day or more to fix

Clearly that one's the 'money shot'

Uh-oh
That's the 'CYA legal disclosure shot.'

Actually, that could be fixed up as good as new... the prep
would include building a cradle of full-frame molds to put
the hull back into it's intended shape... not a simple of
cheap task in itself... but it's not worth the effort or
moeny since the rest of the boat is trashed.

A shame, at one time that was somebody's dream boat.
