    The puncture holes might be the best aesthetic on that boat.

    Surely someone other than the captain was in command during this fiasco. Like the owners young son who found the liquor cabinet open. Whoever it was seemed to lose their composure when they saw the law.
    Wasn't someone recently wanting to add some port holes to a yacht?

    That will be me in a few weeks. Bashing into whatever hard points offered up for my hull to grace.

    Again - no expert in the fiberglass world but first guess is, that will not buff right out. May need some putty, or a touch of Elmers.

    It showed up on a haulout video yesterday heading out to the ocean with the holes in it's side.
    It's true..... You can't fix stupid.

    Not holes per se.....but perforations.
    So you can fold it more easily
