Thanks Jim, I’ve been here for years but under “Badbagger” but got a new laptop and I’ll be damned if I could remember my log in credentials so now I’m Tin Ark and actually fits nicely. This is the best bar none site on the net for anything to do with tin boats. I’m also on The Hull Truth dot com and since hmm 2009 have countless members here. Thanks for all you do

I lived in florida before moving to illinois. Your vids have me jealous to say the least!
Great work!
You have inspired me to do a better job of documenting my project =D>

 

[Tin Ark]

Much appreciated I believe in trying to do what I can to share what I have learned over the years.

Updated, after additional research and input from a member over at The Hull Truth the Starboard is not only costly but NOT as stable since it would lack support for my weight ...

Good ... as I just read this today and I thought "Oh no, Starboard does NOT replace plywood :shock: in strucural applications!" It also bends (permanently too) in the heat!

I think you are going to want to use nutserts and machine screws (bolts) in the place of those sheet metal screws for those spud holders. I have had four Sea Arcs and anything you mount on those gunnels with sheet metal screws that has constant vibration like those holders will wind up wallowing out.

I also do a bunch of aluminum welding and fabrication. I can't count the boats that I have welded the holes shut up there where folks have used sheet metal screws and they wallow out and they keep going bigger to they can't get any larger ones.

 

[Tin Ark]

Thanks, I am finally going to the welder in the morning and I'll chat with him about mounting those up for me permanently.

It has been quite a wait..
