[QUOTE="Ranchero50, post: 211382, member: 1523"] I'll UHMW eventually. I'm only building one boat and three seconds of 'bad luck' can slice a thin hull and dent up a thicker hull. The UHMW gives you a chance to slide over the rock vs. grab and tear at the bottom. Tunnel hulls will save you when setting down off plane where with the angle of the hull has the jet foot 6-8" below the hull where ths boat speed and force will shatter the foot. Look at the Ka Boom thread. I'll end up welding 1.25" x.125" aluminum angle to the hull by the factory strakes to screw the UHMW to. Drill, countersink, thread and screw with blue locktight. I'll probably just use 1/4" material, it gets very expensive very quickly. Jamie [/QUOTE]
