What I don't get is the ire.  I mean, I thought I made it clear why I 
was *thinking* about moving the through-hull.  And I certainly respect 
the basic design of the boat.  However, after seeing -- for example -- 
the way the bilge was constructed at Whitby, I have no illusions that 
the boat was constructed in the best possible way at all times, and I 
believe that certain things can be improved.  What I don't like are 
ill-conceived, poorly executed "improvements" that weren't thought 
through in the first place.  I'm putting a lot of effort into NOT doing 
that, but posting about it here can be rather discouraging.

If replacing a 40-year old gate valve that was on a "through hull" that 
consisted of a piece of pipe peened over a washer makes me a "NEO 
Marine Architect" then so be it.

Possibly interested in selling - contact me offline if you are 
interested.  Boat is located in lower Chesapeake Bay.

I don't get it!

Why move anything in the first place? ..... As for the other through 
hulls ... these boats have been around for 40
plus years ... why is it we have all of these NEO Marine Architects 
that
want to REDESIGN the boat? It Aint Broke so don't fix it!
