Honey, I just drilled a hole through the hull.

I'm sure those words were not what she wanted to hear.  Nevertheless, I had made a dumb mistake and I wasn't going to make another one by not telling her about it.  Fortunately for us, the new hole was above the waterline and didn't threaten to sink our new home.  However, it cost us $50 and a couple hours filling the hole, sanding the filler, and replacing the gelcoat.  In my defense, punching holes through the hull of a boat is not uncommon.  It's just better if you do it on purpose.
