Punch him in the mouth first then take the screws out. Get a gel coat repair kit and fix it. It should be real easy if the holes are not to big ( which they shouldnt be. You may have to get it professional fixed if it is really bad, but it should not cost more than $250 . to fix all four holes.

When the stereo shop installed my stereo, they put the screw that holds the fuse in place, right through the side. I took it in to get professionally done. It was right up at the top, so it was completely visible. The repair place said they could do it the cheap way, which "Should match all colors." or the expensive way "Which WILL match all colors." I said, I wasn't paying, and to go the correct way. It cost $550. My point, go the cheap way, since it is on the bottom, and won't be seen. Should be less than half what mine cost, for each whole.

You should change your name to something not including the 'bros' in it. He needs to be disowned for defacing sacred idols.

it was a little confusing at first, same title means that everyone will respond to one of them thinking that they are all the same. oops!

not a huge problem, in fact, fairly basic...

this might be a good example of "accidents happen" and taking it easy on your bro might get you a clear card the first time you do something stupid with the boat!

get some marinetex, it costs a few bucks no big deal.
