Well here's an update:

THE BOAT IS FIXED. Picked it up last week just in time for an entire weekend on the lake. It looks brand new and even one of the guys at the dealership saw me on the lake and couldn't tell. Thank God.

I'll have pictures of the damage and the fix shortly but were back in business.

You have no idea!! Especially when the boat is still under a month old.

Well lets get a couple things straight.

1. Won't ever use those slips again.
2. Followed Mike's recommendation and now own six 8" bumpers.
3. Purchased bungee dock lines and additional rope, now takes a chainsaw to untie fom the middle of the dock.
4. Did rent a slip this weekend, got the 40 foot one to have plenty of room on either side where we could actually park jetski's beside and behind it.
5. Going into the marina I attempted to have the admiral use a paddel instead of the motor for the last 25 feet but she refused.
