My stepfather has a 20-yr old fiberglass boat which is never washed, and aside from washing out the spider nests, has never been well cared for. Plus, it's been left outside in the sun for the last few years. The plastic boat he has, (some random Aqua Terra model) is (unfortunately) quite "wavey" on the bottom from being melted in the summer sun and kept upside down, although even it is still in operational condition. ===== Elias Ross / 470 2nd Ave S #313 / Kirkland WA 98033 http://www.maison-otaku.net/~genman __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
