Upon research I can thin it with xylene for spraying but never mention with the need of paint hardener.
Anybody use this Duralux paint before and should I add paint hardener or not and what's your...
I am currently converting an used EZ loader trailer with rollers to bunk to accommodate my 17' aluminium job boat.
What is the idea bunk length?
The trailer doesn't has center roller / support and appears not needed, basically the boat's entire weight will be supported by the two bunks and the...
Very nice build!
I am currently working on a Sylvan 1750 Pro Bass similar hull to yours and convert it from console to tiller as a duck boat as well.

Also is the door...

I would try nylon lock nuts and long bolts either through the gunwale or side of the hull with big washers.
It will be permanent but if you drill smaller holes ( 3/16 or 1/4) in the worst case you can fill it with rivets or even stainless nut's and bolts if you decide to remove it in the future.
If you Google sportspal they use foam on the side of their aluminum canoe and seems do the trick.
Never into one of those but did pick up one at a dealer to see the weight it's like feather compares to glass canoe the same length.
There must be a reason for the added foam to the sides and...
Thanks for your prompt reply and insight.
To each of their own I found your type of finish is exactly I am looking for as this boat will be use mainly for waterfowl hunting and I have chased divers till the last day of the season in January under sub-zero temperature and really need the grip...
Thanks for your suggestion and yes I agreed as I have seen similar finish on the latest Tracker Grizzly and it can possibly scratch up fishing reels and stuff.
I really like the way you finish the floor and interested in the Asper Girt would like to know how much did you use to cover the deck and the floor on your project?
Thank you
Ram mount used to make a bracket specifically for the bow mount trolling to keep it from boucing while the boat is under way not sure if they still sell them or not.
