John,

I know of no practical way of lining up the old holes in the boat with the new, to be drilled, holes in the receiver. That is why most people abandon the old holes and drill new. Saying that 5200 is not the right product for this purpose is the kind of statements that I think should be avoided, my opinion.

By saying this, you are saying that Boston Whaler, and some of their most respected dealers, are giving out bad advice. 5200 was designed for applications such as this.

I am not implying that only dummies give advice here, but that some good people have been turned off by others. I guess I have to much time on my hands today, and really should let this go, but-

Walter
