It's warmed up to a balmy 48 degrees this week. Believe me, the wife and I frequently weigh the pro's anc con's of moving - taxes in MA are ridiculous, the season is short, and our jobs are portable. Don't know why we stay sometimes. Oh, did I mention spending $1000+ for a snowblower in Feb. to clear 3 feet of snow? That was my new Garmin GPS this summer. NOT.

Anyway, thanks for the advice, I'll be sure to back them up with some glass or backing material prior to filling, there around 50-75 holes that need filling and cracks to repair, but I'm just going to do the critical deck stuff first, get the boat in shape for the season, and chip away at the larger projects next winter in my workshop (yes, it's large enough for the boat....)

and I promise not to ask ridiculous questions - some of you guys would put Rybovich to shame.

thanks.
