I used them in my build after lots of research and testing...zero issues, no heat (they're gray) no flout as they are almost 3/4inch thick.. Non slip. But they were intended for industrial use. You can s then in my build. Going into 3 years now.

If you zoom the top right pic......doesnt it look like a face??

Thats very nice work! I like your recessed foot control box and your storage and access areas. I actually like your inside colour :) Are you going to carpet the wood or similar?

I ordered some TinBoats 'swag' last year, and Id be up for the $10 donation fee with another sticker for my vehicle : ) This forum has been sooo helpful, but it goes beyod that.. It's like an online version of the Cheers! bar... people here share happy and sad moments, they pray for each...

Hey thats exactly what I ended up using!

One of the best fixes ive seen on here -assuming you are keeping the benches- is to cut pool noodles to length and fill the benches. Those things have a lot of bouyancy to them!

OD... There's a good reason why i didnt get it welded, but in a nutshell, 2 different aluminum fabricators/welders looked at it and said a weld would break again faster than a mechanical connection. They both suggested the riveting and both said not to expect it to last forever, but long enough...

I got it at a local metal 'supermarket' through my school that I teach at. I had the tech at the school cut it on a metal bandsaw, but the metal supermarket would have cut it for free (1st cut is free). Ive said it before, most local high schools with a shop will do 'projects' for the community...

Great idea/design =D>

The price point is good (at least its inline with what they go for here in southwest ontario), and hopefully your buddy can hear and see the motor running. However, the pictures seem to show a gunwale repair on the starboard side, midship. The same area towards the stern looks bent. I would ask...

You are most welcome! :)

Just make sure the surfaces are clean and hold the parts in place for a minute. Give it a day before you try heaving on it by hand (i know you will try, I did too :) ) , and she'll be solid!

This tape is solid, ive used it to mount metal to brick, to mount a whiteboard to brick and its used by autobody shops to reattach emblems and names back onto hoods etc. Its easy, just measure, cut, peel, stick, hold for a minute. No mess. Like i said, i have an attwood 800gph pump, and its...
