Sorry to hear of your close encounter with the dock.  Can you post some pictures of the damaged area?  That'll give us a better idea as to how to address the repair.  There is damage, then there is DAMAGE...

Eight yeas is a long restoration project; puts you in the Senior Class for staying with AS.
