Anyone got any opinions on these.
: Again, I think I'll just give it a try and see what happens. Aluminum is
: tempting because it's so light.

A big advantage to strip building is that the transparent finish we
apply as a final coating and UV protector can and must be refreshed
from time to time giving our boats a "new" look.

Hardware that cannot be easily removed will make top notch finish application,
especially a brushed finish, highly difficult.

Solving one problem without creating three new problems, that's the trick!
