[QUOTE="Brine, post: 165162, member: 1053"] Hi Dave, I don't have any first hand experience, but I've seem some of the manufacturers of the bunk glides state "not intended for riveted hulls". I think you'd be safe with something that was continuous the length of the boat (as ultimate bunks are I'm pretty sure), but I can't say for sure. Best to discuss with the mfg. The products I've seen the caution on were the ones where you space the glides on as 3 or 4 seperate strips with gaps between each. I can see how ramming the rivets against the edge of these things could do some damage over time. I believe this was brought up during [b]Baptistpreach[/b]'s mod which can be found in the mod section. I haven't seen him here lately, and I'm not sure if he's still around to ask how the boat is doing after a year. Russ put a set of Ultimate Bunks on his first build if you want to ask him anything specific about their product. While I'm thinking of it, want to make sure you know that your bare aluminum (now exposed) has begun to form it's own protective coating of oxidation that will need to be lightly scuffed before applying your primer if you plan to paint. I'd do it the same day you plan to prime. [/QUOTE]
