The rivets pre-spidered the cap of a new hull...no one poke inggy, and nothing but chopper guns.

The rigging made my slacker look stellar...
Ran into a guy in the keys a couple years ago who had a twin vee in the 20' size range (not familiar with their offerings). He had rebranded it a "Turd Vee". Said he was a former employee and had purchased the hull under the employee discount program. Had some problems and couldn't get resolution, hence the rebranding. But he was still running the boat, so how bad could it be? Just an interesting approach by a dissatisfied customer/disgruntled former employee.
