No problem man, it's a boat right? Even if it's a small one;)
Welcome to wrecked boats.. We don't have a lot of spam, but we do have
our snarks.. and I can be one of them... So strap on your flame proof
undies, and post away;)
OK... after reading all of the comments, I WILL NOT be drilling any holes,
big or small in the hull of my small "boat." I have covers which I will
use... and will figure out what to do with the small bit of water that
penetrates anyways.
