[QUOTE="Nussy, post: 119869, member: 2148"] I've now Steelflexed two boat......Although I haven't spend any water time in either of them, I can tell you that I think the Steelflex would be a much tougher solution than paint. With my first build I left the Gunwales silver aluminum. With the build I'm currently working on I took a wire wheel to the whole boat and I'm actually thinking of leaving the small lip that will be there unfinished or even polishing it for that reason for the exact reason that you mention. If you really want a finished edge, I'd go with the Steelflex. You should have more than enough left over and it would give it a nice contrasting look. P.S. I'm actually thinking about Steelflexing my anchors. It would give it that rubberized effect and reduce the rust issue on them currently. [/QUOTE]
