A little background:

I just purchased a 1986 17' montauk that I plan on restoring back to original shape, or at least as close as I can. The previous owner had mounted a trolling motor on the front right foot pad. When the trolling motor was removed it left four nickle sized holes in the footpad. I negotiated a deal with the seller to have the holes fixed at a well respected glass shop. When I got the boat back today, I noticed instead of just patching the holes and repair the non-skid, they completely refinished the entire area and put griptex or the like in the gelcoat. I am torn whether I should take it back and have them sand it all down and flex mold it, or am I just being too picky? What do you guys/gals think? Does it detract from the appearance of the boat? I know that 99.9% of the people out there would pay no attention to it, but dang.
