To keep them flush and not use through bolts that leak I would look at welding in acorn nuts or make your own out of solid shaft with threaded blind hole , drill deck holes to same OD as the shaft or acorn nuts slip them in flush on top side and weld them up

Without actually seeing it, it is hard to give advice on how to tackle it. I would say to start with take the worst looking area and cut the welds loose on the inside seam of the flange, just a foot or two then take a chisel and separate the seam enough to see in there , if the bottom plate is...

the extrusions are not really necessary, I have done a couple 8 footers and a 10' without them using .100" 5052 material . Keel and chine seams setup inside edge to edge. Tom

Tight thick mill scale is tough to get off even with a sandblaster. Vinegar will soften it a little . running your torch flame close over it will pop it loose also just be carefull not to heat the plate under

Bottom line you have to make a profit to survive, something our politicians don't seem to grasp. I think it's kinda funny we have other states inviting business/ manufacturing to there states, bottom line would be operating cost way less than here . One thing that gets me is working folks...

Wishin they would have cut back here but nope they just start raising fee's fines taxes anything thing they can to squeeze a little more out of us .

I would hope they have made it more difficult to file, A lot seems to be knowing how to work the system and a shyster lawyer, I personally know a few that have just to get rid of the debt ., At the moment one little restaurant I was eating lunch at , the people rented it and had been running it...

I guess I will chime in here sense I stripped off gel coat and outer layer of mat with grinders, the grinders spin fast so you need to stick with the coarse grit around 40 to 60, the finer grits get to hot and smear the surface. when the surface gets down close to where you want is switch to a...

That could be bad for someone truly in bad shape, seems like there are a number of people that abuse it also, rack up a bunch of credit and file at the minimum time frame allowed . Just another thing you have to contend with in business, do a job or sell them goods and don't get paid they file...

Not to get off topic but yes they built the state run marinas just like camp grounds with tax payers money but it is also an investment for the state, same as a private built marina, they make money on there investment slip fee's launch ramp dry storage . Not exactly a burden on the tax payer...

Are you sure that is all paid for from tax dollars ? Doesn't a large percent of the marinas lease from the state ? state getting the money to cover the cost marina getting slip fee's to cover there cost ? Coast guard would have to be there anyway guarding our coast against drug runners...

All I can say there is try it today and see

That is/would be a big one here in this state of California 10% luxury, 8% sales tax another 1% appraised value tax annually to the county it is in then add in slip fee's, insurance and you haven't even used it yet Kinda puts the regular working folks and long term financing out of the...
