yea, i had been thinking about that. From what I've been able to see, it seems like there are small pieces of plywood embedded so stuff can be wood-screwed to the fiberglass. All of that holds mostly cosmetic stuff (the horn, lights, etc.), but nothing structural, so I'm not sure I'll mess with...

Thats the one. I was thinking of that, but didn't know if that would be considered strong enough.... Then I assume I could just screw a rub-rail over that if I'm so inclined, and hide my dirty work... yea??

Haven't been on for a while, too busy gettin after fish and game to be working on the boats :D But now that spring is around the corner, I got a few things I need to get taken care of. I have a fiberglass tri-hull that I got dirt cheap from E-Bay, and I'm in the process of re-vamping it...

:? yea, about that gel-coat... I don't have any experience with fiberglass boats, but I'm 95% sure there isn't a gel coat on this boat anymore... Any easy way to "test" so I know for sure??

:shock: :shock: :shock: I guess i didn't realize it would take take much... I guess the CamoClad may be the best way to go...

I found a steal on a fiberglass boat on e-bay earlier this summer, and I have been tinkering with the idea of converting it into a duck boat, since all the water I boat hunt is big water (so I'm not worried about the draft or weight or anything). So it is already green, but I was looking at...
