[QUOTE="SVOMike86, post: 109658, member: 2070"] As far as powdercoat goes, I haven't seen it peel off of too many things, but in my experience, if you scrape anything enough, it will scratch. That being said, I don't think I will actually run up into that shallow of water, but if it happens, I'm hoping it will be more durable than paint. I didn't know my little pontoon floatie thingies had names... Sponsons, huh? :) What I had thought of doing was drilling a hole on the very back of it, then welding a nut, standing the boat on its nose, then filling it up with the foam. I'd probably get a plug similar to a pontoon's to close it up when I'm done. If you don't think this will work, please let me know. By the way Rat, I think what you are doing to your boat is awesome, and if I had a connection with free fiberglass stuff that's exactly what I would do... Mike D. [/QUOTE]
