Honestly, I don't notice them.

From what I recall reading in this board about a year ago, regard to the difficulty in filling the holes in a way that actually hides them, I would not fill the holes on any boat I made.

I think if a hole-less boat is desired, then one of the stapless techniques should be used.

: Chris,

: Do you like this "homebuilt" look or do you feel that after the
: fact you should have filled the holes? Thanks for you time.
