    1992 Spectrum BlueFin

    It does but you have to use the right glue. The ONLY stuff I've found is the DAP HHR (high heat resistant) glue intended for landau car roofs.

    Trolling Rod setup for Jon boat?

    I have flush mount bases for Ram mounts and I'm pretty happy with them. They're well made and adjustable. They make three different style mounts, one of which might work for you.

    rolling paint on an aluminum boat

    I used foam rollers on mine. But I also went with Rustoleum Hammered paint so that imperfections will be hidden and any touch ups blend right in.

    Continuous hinge supplier needed

    It's the length of the item. By the time it's packaged correctly to prevent damage you're looking at least at a 8 1/2 tube or box. When you get into long lengths there are additional charges from the shipping companies (UPS & Fed Ex) which will be passed on to you.

    Wire port for installing electronics

    I found these at work and gave them a try as wire pass through ports when installing electronics. They're rubber doughnuts for use in semi-truck air line glad hands.

    With a new front deck panel fabbed and covered it is obvious how much room was underneath. Now to fab a deck extension/storage area. Aluminum tube and angle and aluminum sheet and double wrap hinges and the storage area was roughed out. Lots of storage now.

    I purchased this boat last summer and as it was my first boat I ran it till December as is to get an idea of what I wanted to change. One of the things that had to change was how the front deck ended just behind the front seat making for quite a drop for someone in the seat. The center...

    Nautolex/contact cement problem

    If you have scraps of Nautolex left try different solvents on them before you try cleaning the stain. I installed Nautolex on my boat and used lacquer thinner to remove a glue drip or two but it was still fresh at the time.

    Carrying Boat Open Side Up on top of Truck Cap

    Plus the right side up mounting will create aerodynamic lift at speed which might make your truck unstable in handling.
