I see your point, and as I had to take my 240 down to the hull and still rebuilding everything due to rot, feel your pain.
But a point to consider, your boat is 17 years old (mine is 22), honestly how long did Baja really plan on them being around? How many of us are driving cars that old? Granted during the demo phase on mine, it was obvious that just a little bit more attention to detail would have prevented the whole mess. However I'm guessing trying to get some dude getting paid as little as possible to lay-up boats all day, to give a crap...is a tall order...:ack2:
