Here’s why I went Sika flex 291 , maybe not as permanent as 3m 5200, still has great strength, and $$$. 3m $49. Sikaflex $15 (Canadian $)

Interesting chart. If am reading it correctly, Sika blows the pants off 5200 in shear strength on aluminum. I might have to rethink use of 5200.

Two pcs. 1-1/2” angle welded and bolted into spot , doesn’t look like much…. We put 1200 pounds on this platform today and no creak/crack and anything (ya I could’ve done better, this is what I can do)
Plus I welded everywhere , floors, walls. Console, leaning post. Used an entire spool of wire…..

The plan is EVA foam on the gunwale?
Same foam on the off shore bracket also

Haven’t decided a pattern or color yet
Maybe blue with black stripes?
