I think that it can be a problem with aluminum boat treated runners w no carpet some chemical reaction that causes damage to your hull .

I was about to ask why you didn't carpet or teflon them. Shawn your employment place has plenty of teflon.

not sure if it would react but I know when I was in oil field all of our boats and new rentals that I saw were done that way. The teflon would work well but I don't like carpet since it holds water on boards.

My buddies have been putting it on theirs too. It doesn't take but a few small pieces. Its like those slicks they sell for high dollar.
I screwed strips of teflon down to my 2x4s that i had before, but the teflon wore and the stainless screws that i counter sunk started rubbing the boat, had to weld 3 spots because of this so I'm just gonna go back with carpet

I had 1" wide teflon strips every 16" and you couldnr unstrap the boat till it hit the water or it would slide off

I had to put foil tape on 1/2 of my cowling light so I could see when running at night

Love the cup holder. Where do get those from?

Natural Light Kid 09-02-2011 10:52 PM
Whats on the sides of the boat? Looks like a board or something screwed or riveted to the ribs on the sides.

Thats sheet metal used for the support for 2-2x6's stacked on top of each other for a movable bench seat, allows me to distribute weight front go back better plus i can put the bench on the floor when not in use

I like the gas tank setup. I take it your tank won't fit behind the seat? The whole boat looks pretty nice.

TidalSurge 09-12-2011 09:38 PM
Looking good. I redid mine this year too. It's alot of work

SaltyShaw 09-12-2011 09:55 PM
Looks real good Shawn! Im with jude, you shoulda called im a great beer drinking moral support kinda guy lol.
Were did you get those courtesy lights? I have been wanting to put some around my console in my boat

Shawn Braquet 09-12-2011 10:01 PM
Attwood brand wally world sells them, i put a different style on my bay boat and like them better, i think jude would agree, put them under the rod holders because they are surface not flush mount so they protrude a half inch or so but have 5 bulbs so much brighter, plus you can get different colors
