[QUOTE="painlesstom, post: 312706, member: 10361"] I'll be keeping up with this, look forward to seeing how you do it all. I wouldn't use a rubber gasket between the two hulls... it could be prone to shifting and if both surfaces are not flat, it wouldn't seal anyhow. Much better off to use a flexible sealant that will conform to the exact shape of both mating surfaces, that is what worked for me without issue anyhow. Even after bolting everything together and letting the polyurethane cure, there was still alot of flex. Laying in fiberglass to extend the footprint of the jet ski hull will reinforce the floor and protect the union between materials. With no flex, the joint would have the potential to last the life of the boat. I used Loctite PL S30 [img]https://www.bing.com/th?id=JN.mJdtgpsNZLjlcecq3wRVlA&pid=15.1&P=0&w=300&h=300[/img] [/QUOTE]
