last march I mounted some walls at center with my old boots. This year I went down a shell size so I had to move the heel piece forward a space. I know I can't remount them with these boost because there isn't enough meat between the old holes to drill again. I'm wondering if this is ganna throw me off?

look at the screws your bindings are mounted with. They are more than 5 millimeters in diameter. Trust me, you wont notice it at all.

Going down a shell size will probably improve your skiing due to a tighter fit.

However, you need to stop worrying about your gear and just go ride. Compared to how you ski, your mounting point, bindings etc. will make little difference to your skiing. My skis are mounted 5mms forward of center, and they work fine. I hit water ramps this summer with them, the base is separating from the core, they're cracking and delamming at the tips, I can see dirt in the base but they still work for me. My bindings have fallen completely out of the ski, the brake routinely pops out, and sometimes when they pop off the toe piece rotates in ways it is definitely not supposed to, and I can still ski fine.. My boots are 3 years old and weren't even super fancy at the time, and I can still ski fine.
