: I have no doubt the oversized, epoxy-filled holes are strong, but
: they are also more work than unnecessary and slightly unsightly.
: Simply make each hole the final desired size and give it two
: coats of epoxy, sanding lightly between coats. My 7 and 8 year
: old boats are still perfect with this simple approach.

Hey John,
That sounds muck quicker and easy. I am finished with an Outer Island and about to cut the slots for the deck rigging. I will try it your way and save time, It should look better as well. Thanks for the info Just in time.
