Thanks Scooby,

I'll be curious to see how the boat handles with aluminum. I'm also wondering more about fixing the old carbon fiber, what kind of cost are we talking about. I was told when I bought the boat 3 years ago that a new mast was around 3 grand but apparently the cost is now between 4 and 5 grand so a fix is looking more attractive. I'm still waiting to hear a final cost for the replacement from my dealer.
