    If the cap is welded as one piece, then glueing it down and keep the ends under the end caps should be enough. Remember that you will have a engine mounted over it. That is all I did for mine and still holding strong. SHSU

    Winter is always slow for progress. Like the grate. Going to have a catch pan under it in case you wash something you don't want down there? SHSU

    How does the HVAC tape hold up to water? Like the storage boxes. Wish our boat was big enough for that additiona. SHSU

    2-4 coats depending on how thick you want it. Which vinyl did you go for? Nautolex Shark? SHSU

    That is some clean work. Only you will ever notice the slight difference between the two sides. SHSU

    I remember those days of wire wheeling the aluminum stringers. Wish I had the room for another project. SHSU

    Did you use a hardener? If you can create a dent with a fingernail then it hasn't fully cured. My experience, paint always takes twice as long to cure as the manufacture says it will... SHSU

    That sucks, but all of our projects had something similar happen. Part of the process. Small progress is still progress. Keep up the good work. SHSU

    Man it sits perfect. I guess the wet mud helps it settle and cradle the hull for support. SHSU

    Nothing like a Turtled hull. You going to use Gluvit/Coat it on the rivets/seams to help seal it? SHSU

    That is some nice work and pretty wood. Almost a shame to have to cover it with a motor, but guessing it look just as good SHSU

    Moving right along!!! Really like how the hull looks on the new trailer. The motor mounts look like they will last a lifetime with what you are doing. Keep up the nice work!! SHSU

    Man that is nice. I run out of Galveston bay and power wash after every trip. Thought you had a secret I could use, but yours is unique to your location. lol SHSU

    Since you are in saltwater, any spray down/cleaning when you dock? Curious how you handle the corrosion on the aluminum hull. SHSU

    '67 Holiday 18' - Make it Usable

    Rechargeable running lights, I never thought of that but makes sense since I seen them on kayaks and stuff. Smart move to limit wiring. SHSU

    Can't hurt to plug. Biggest issue is keeping wood damp and not letting it dry out properly after it gets soaked. SHSU

    New Journey

    I work on my 1974 Evinrude and enjoy it. Toyed with a new 4 stroke, but cost makes me question why when I have a working motor I can fix. Like new cars these days, you need a computer with OEM software to fix anything.... SHSU

    If you do use it in saltwater, carpeted bunks holding the saltwater next to the hull isn't good. So something to keep in mind if you do ever dunk it. SHSU
