| Fiberglass cabin on a steel hull I have a 44' steel hull and would like to remove the steel cabin by cutting it off just above the deck and replacing with a newly built fiberglass cabin. I am looking for suggestions on how to join the fiberglass to the steel. Bolting? Joining the fiberglass to the steel? ........ Also are there any issues with this? Is this a bad idea having fiberlglass mated to steel?  |

| It's considered spamming when you post the same question in three different forums simultanously. |

| Imagine everyone doing that – wouldn't that be swell? |

| Btw, I'm not a boat builder, so caveat emptor, but I'd bolt the thing onto a welded frame. |

| make an upstand (flange) about 75mm high , make up your cabin, , get all ready, then put Sika 11fc around the joint and lower cabin over it through bolt with c/s hex drive screws |
