Are you the up tight type or the it's just part of fishing type?
Sunday I set the hook with a spinnerbait and sent it flying into my friend's Optipop. Noticed a fresh scratch and felt bad but luckily he doesn't get mad about stuff that's all part of what we're doing. His Champion 196 does still look good for being 25 years old even though it needs new carpet. Just honest wear and some really cool history to go with the boat over the past 25 years. My boat is only a couple years old and bought aluminum so I wouldn't have to worry about that stuff because they will happen. I don't worry about it because my boat is a tool and not a show piece.
