Hey Turbocat asking questions is better then learning by error. I’ve done my share of both! It’s when you don’t learn by error and nobody to ask that really sucks!

As Mr. T would say, “I pity the poor sucker that tacks in front of me” I would not want to scratch my boat or anything - not one of those guys it’s not worth it. Do T-Bone crashes still happen because nobody gives even if they are right or wrong the ultimate game of waterway chicken at the start line?

The Kevlar isn’t pretty but usually armor plating is ugly and it will be hidden. Now the bow will tear off before the tube breaks, well that was the idea sort of ...Once it is closed a hole would have to be cut in the boat to get to it.

It may look like I have my laminate backwards but my goal was to reinforce the hull skin to the sprit pole case, think about it....?
