>As far as the fuselage "hole patch" goes, would it be possible to cut a round hole in the boat and carefully bevel the edge and then insert a plywood "plug" with a similiar bevel to get a nice tight fit and then put a couple of layers of BID on the inside of the fuselage to reinforce the repair? It would take a little "doing" but it would look nice when done. >Thanks again ... Denny +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Denny, A little "doing" can go a long way! Mine took 13.5 years! Don't worry about making a "pretty" plug, just a safe plug. You will be patching, filling, finishing, the exterior anyway so don't waste time trying to make it pretty on the first pass. After you shoot the paint, no one will know the patch is there but you.
