[QUOTE="user 4464, post: 204061, member: 4464"] Hi to all, I have a question about capping my G3 aluminum boat with plywood covered in fiberglass to flush the top with the edge of the boat then paint both top and bottom. with this being said i would counter sink the stainless screws into the plywood into the top of the boat edges which is about 2.5" all the way around the top. Has anyone tried this with their boat or hear of anyone else doing it? My concern would be the flex in the hull capped with fiberglass...duno about that. If i cap it, then I would have to prep the inside with a new floor and sides. All would be plywood covered with fiberglass. Any opinions would be appreciated. Thanks! Forgot, my boat is painted with bed-liner paint inside along with the top too. Pictured is an example of what I am wanting to do. Of course I would be using 3/4" marine grade plywood... [/QUOTE]
