That's what I was trying to say. I don't think it is a really
significant problem for a well built boat (one like ours had the
throttle get stuck in the forward position and climbed a the wall of
the haul slip and there was a bigger chunk out of the concrete slip
wall than there was out of the boat), but I don't think it can be
dismissed out of hand as NO hazard
