Still suffering from the shock that you bought a HP cat and did that to it !!! can't believe you are even showing the pictures to us , I think that vector marine went a step beyond duty in even responding to your claims after seeing photos .
its roto moulded for you only way to go .
Its sacralidge to do what you have done to a hp cat ,
Guess in your defence they probably shouldn't have sold you it , but perhaps they didn't fully appreciate the abuse you were going to give it .
