[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 434417, member: 15636"] Nice hull! Looks like a clean layout for SWFF too! Consider ... -[u]Adding [/u]Nautolex marine vinyl over the wood. It protects they wood, isn't hot on the feet, you'll never have to repaint it and it lasts longer than carpet and is super easy to clean to boot! That sounds to me like a win, win, win, and WIN! FWIW my marine vinyl (OEM) installation is going on 20-years old and is still sound and looks pretty good when power washed and cleaned up! However, that is New England boat use, which means she's in the weather and sun whilst out on the mooring 24/7 from mid-May to end of October. I know you're season are longer :mrgreen: . Just one example here for vinyl: https://www.defender.com/product.jsp?path=-1%7C2276179%7C2276198%7C2276202&id=23740 -[u]Adding [/u]a zinc anode to the hull, if leaving it immersed in SW 24/7, like I do. see: https://www.forum.tinboats.net/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=39331 -[u]Remember[/u], tin boat here, not frp, so if/when you use any stainless fastener you should really insulate the SS fastener body from any aluminum it could touch.
