these an old aupercat 17 down at the beach right now that got hit by lighting.... the mast is alittle messed up but the lighting blem a hole the size of a baseball on the outer side of the starboard hull near the ground..... it was beached and tied down with line..... its been there for years and the guy still thinks he's gonna fix it someday.... hahaha... the hole gets softer and softer the longer it sits....
