That has to be the longest sentence I have ever seen! For you, I suggest using bullets. It would make reading your posts much easier and you already tend towards that style anyway.
I'm sorry, Whatever, but it's obvious you haven't a clue about geology - basalt turning into sedimentary rocks via heat??? Granite on/in the ocean floor??? Take Coragyps' advice and check your sources.

Where are these foundational granites - ocean or continent? Also, granite does not turn into sedimentary rock via heat or pressure, either - that's a metamorphic rock.
I have heard a little of the theory that granites/gneiss underlay oceanic basalt, but that is highly controversial. Besides, I don't understand how that supports your position.
Permanent magnets?
Also, I believe you are wrong about the lack of dating of oceanic material. I believe the Ocean Drilling Project and others have dated and calibrated/correlated magnetic reversals on the ocean floor.

I don't think age-dating oceanic crust is too common, but I do believe the Ocean Drilling Program has dated some cores - try searching on their website (sorry, don't have time to do this myself). Also, there are a lot of papers on the correlation of biostratigraphy, stratigraphy, and age-dated terrestrial basalts with oceanic basalts that also constrain the ages of polarity chrons.
Turning to oceanic crust drilling, the Ocean Drilling Program has certainly drilled deeper than 105'. In fact, they have gone as far as 2.1 km (6,500+ feet) and possibly further. Last I heard, the deepest oil exploration hole in the ocean was about 3 km (9,800+ feet). I don't know if that still stands, however. See the following links for some deep holes.
talk of going 4,600 deep (Sept 2003 press release)
Hole 504B: penetrates 2,111 meters of oceanic crust (year???)
I understand why you think the magnetic reversals wouldn't work, but I can assure you, scientists have considered and solved the question you have, as well as many others. Check out these sites for some info on magnetic reversals:
reversals and tectonics - check out the other links for more information.
also
from the USGS
There is a lot of info on the web about this. Take a look around.
