[QUOTE="Blkrvrbart, post: 451550, member: 23509"] Onthewater102: I can’t take credit for the bow storage compartment. It was already there. I did simulate it for a 24”w x 16” deep stow hole under the bow deck. When they are finished they will have a rectangular door on them. Good for cords, rope, lunch, rainwear. In construction we use acid cure 100% silicone with aluminum all the time. The acid in the raw silicone etches the oxidized surface of the aluminum enough to let the silicone bond to it, but as the silicone cures the acid is released and won’t harm the aluminum. Not looking for an argument, just relaying knowledge handed down to me. I have gotten away from disagreeing on forums, but a forum actually means a place to discuss, so if anyone has better wisdom, please feel free to add it here. Otherwise, well, otherwise would be just otherwise. :) [/QUOTE]
