mutliple drilled ski binding mount question

I am a binding mounting jong...
Just to make that clear.

I had a pair of the original solly 1080s that I sold on ebay a week or two ago. I was the second owner. As far as I know, they were drilled twice. The buyer claims they were drilled 3 times and all the shops refuse to mount them.

Questions
1. Is it really impossible/unsafe to mount a thrice drilled ski
2. The previously drilled holes were epoxied in. Can the epoxied holes be redrilled and used?

If the answer ot one is no and two yes, then do any or all solly bindings have the same mounting holes.

Thanks in advance.

1. it is possible, just not recommended.
2. previously drilled holes can be redrilled and used again, not all solly bindings holes are the same but a lot are or close.
If the ski has been drilled that many times then the boot sole lenght would come close to one of the sets of holes.

did you buy them with the same binding you sold them with?

No, sold them without bindings.

If the old holes can be reused, that may be solution. The skis were drilled with naxos and solly 810s to my knowlege (unless they were really drilled three times). Anybody know home much size adjustment there is between boot sizes on the same mounting hole?

in my PERSONNAL OPINION i have no problems with far enough properly sealed holes. i have skied many skis with multiple (2+) mounting holes. but i have also seen some that have rotten through and the ski was scrap.
