[QUOTE="SC Designs, post: 402661, member: 20199"] Honestly, the debate with the fiberglass to aluminum issue seems to always come up. I used a Poly resin that adheres to metals. Now sure, maybe 5 years down the road there may me some stresses that start showing, but understand that I still screwed through the aluminum with stainless screws and used 3m bond between the jet ski hull and jon hull. The fiberglass is mainly there to provide a smooth surface over the screw heads and add protection to leaking. It's not the primary bond securing the two hulls together. I have read where guys that have used fiberglass are 2 and 3 years into there use with many hours with no signs of cracking or signs of the fiberglass trying to separate from the aluminum. It's all in what a person feels he wants to build his with. I mainly did it for the cosmetic look of having a smooth finish. [/QUOTE]
