I made major mistake!!!
Well the build is nearly complete but I've gone and made schoolboy error 
Fixing down fueltanks should have been a simple job until I picked up the wrong sized self tapers out toolbox , then stuck them through my hull!!!
I could cry !! Gutted is the word!!!!
I marked and measured then gently pre drilled to correct depth to be safe then in moment of madness and concentration I picked out the 50mm screws instead of 25mms and the damage was done!
Was only fitting D plates to deck, buff and rough up area they sat, sikaflex then the 4 screws just to hold them better.
Still can't believe I've done it!
Guessing now I need to join the holes up as so close, dress bck a few mm , fill and glass in then blend area to hull once dry.

I'm not sure if it's a Ribnet urban myth or not, but there was talk a few years ago of someone doing something similar & not realising so until he came to launch his bote, only to find he'd screwed it to the trailer

It's not an urban myth. He might even come along and confess again, though he's probably never going to hear the last of it.
