"Correct me if I'm wrong", you said?

Verdict? WRONG!!!

Haki damaged a ship. I don't see any better way to demonstrate physical damage.

You should just read over this thread, and do this: IGNORE all other posts except Blackbeard D Kuma's, MarvelB's, and C.A.'s. The rest are pure nonsense, to some extent. Either way, you'd want to consolidate the right ideas in your head first, and then go over and scoff at the others.

I got lost around the elfen-thing, so...

So, we've been shown throughout Luffy's fight with Sonia and Marygold that Haki comes in a variety of types. From hardening weapons, predicting movement, overwhelming opponents, and even, at least I think she used Haki, lighting oneself on fire...

So I bring up an argument, does Haki have any limits?
Or is it something completely subject to the will of the user?
Not different types, but different manifestations. It's the same Haki, but used and focused for different goals. Haki doesn't come in different types, unless you're talking about the Haoushoku, and all that stuff. But that's different levels.

Yeah, I found that small bit of writing pretty much condensed the whole thing pretty accurately.
