I have a conundrum. My son took our 2004 boat out yesterday and finally landed his first backroll. Pretty exciting stuff for him - his first invert. But, he was picking someone up at a dock and managed to not see a screw sticking out which scraped a two-inch long, 1/8th of an inch deep gash in the gell coat just above the rubrail. Estimates are $300-400 to fix it. So, while I am happy for his backroll success, I want to kick his butt for being careless and damaging the boat. I can't decide which emotion (happy or kick butt) is going to win overall. If it was your boat and your son, what would be more important to you???
