I'm sorry to come off like a butt-head, but, we definitely have different ideas on some things. I sometimes forget that and get a little overzealous. :)

I read in Will's first post of the "Non-Mirror" shapes of the supposed mirror images of the parts in question. I also see many posts on which possible repairs are offered, and that's cool. However, my feelings are that if the parts aren't right, and as advertised, it needs to be corrected at the source. If not done so, then how many more promising boat builders are gonna have to go through the trouble of finding solutions to fix what they have stumbled into. And how many folks have decided they can't do it, only to have been faulty merchandice. I understand that the boat can be fixed, but, it can also be replaced, or at least new parts attained. Am I wrong? Yeh, we all want to get into the water right now, but, at what cost and just how much are we supposed to absorb in bad materials?? Your statement that That wasn't the problem, tells me that you are willing to grind it out and let it be. My solution and maybe Scotty's would have been to contact CLC and tell them that we received bad parts and can't get it to work as advertised. Differnt'Strokes !! I should probably stop posting until I have something constructive to say. Again, I appologise for sounding ..............well, whatever. ???

No Fog, just 5 or 6 days of rain. Fog next week. :)C-Ya
