As for the rudder and props, what would you use to inspect them?

Wow and to think I started a thread about a trip to Vegas and missed all this great "boating" content.

Note to self: if I use the word "boat" in a post it becomes "boating content" irrespective of how irrelevant the "boating content" is to "boating"

Yes sir. One of many times my little Bezer ended up like this. Poor boat has had a rough life.
The amount of repairs found under almost 40lbs of paint was staggering. That's when I started soliciting help from professionals. It was way beyond my skill level. What appeared to be a small crack in the paint became this!

But I did find this under the paint too.

National Champion badge. Turns out the owner/driver Jamie Jameson (sp) won the 92' Pro Stock championship in a different boat. He was planning in racing my boat in the 93' season but plans changed. So, it's not an actual "champion" but was badged. Not sure how that all carries over, but it was a nice surprise.
