Heh, mee too brother! Everything in my fleet is like that except the Vitus 979, which _can't_ take fenders. And worse, I evangelize. Dirty water from below is sooo much worse than clean water from above. Hek, I feel like I'm melting when I get caught in the wet on my non-fendered Vitus, which is partly why I mentioned it.
