Mtown, that's a generous offer but I'm probably not going to tackle this until after the season is over. I'm in MoCo about 30 miles west of Baltimore so probably too far to be feasible anyway. Even though it's only an hour or two of labor it's really a 2 day job considering the cure time for the epoxy and gel coat.
My biggest concern is getting those holes right. Do you think the method I describe will work?
