I've looked at WAY to many boats personally, and seen WAY too many ways some people can patch them up to sell em. I prefer t stick to engine work as I HATE fiberglass work, and I'm not very good at it. Don't want to be good at it either. Fiberglassing aint for me, give me an old greesy engine any day over glass work.

i hear ya brother I like my fiberglass , grease coated motors and old steel cars.

I'm with ya', but what's the deal with all the trailable boats and bottom paint. I have the same problem with bottom paint that I do with carpet. I always recall the old Bayliner saying that "CARPET CAN HIDE A MULTITUDE OF SINS". My thought is that bottom paint can also hide sins, just more serious. Hey, I'm a 1st hand almost victim to a bottom paint cover up, I don't get over that easily.
