Size of a company does not guarantee quality.

That looks like a lot of hull packed into 16'
The motor bolt pattern is new to me, how does that work?

Th buyer beware part is easy to understand after seeing so many aluminum boat tops powder coated with inferior products and craftsmanship. Bubbling, flaking and chipping. If someone is buying a used boat, car, railing, fence...anything that has been powder coated is there anyway to tell the good fro...

Hi, welder

From what I have seen sandblasting alone does not leave a clean weldable surface.

Right off the top of my head, fortress aluminum anchor.

Looking good. Thanks for posting.

In moderation lots of things are acceptable.

Anything going on?

Might look into some of the scuba diving goggles anti fog to put on the windows.

As always very well put. And it would be great if every customer could understand that. It would be even better if I was busy only doing work that I want to do the right way. Sure I could turn my nose up and say I'm going to do it right or not at all. But then the commercial fishing boat that has to...

Not knocking Kevin at all. I admire all the wisdom he has shared and may share in the future. In many situations customers can or will not pay for a lengthy process to have a job done correctly. I have seen this and been low or out of work at the time on various jobs leaving a customer and I in a po...

I wouldn't jump right to hammering on it 1st.

This is not my place and I don't recommend trying this on a fly bridge (show piece) for a first wack at it. My limited experience that may have been that size has been with airboat hull sides. The art of a hammer and dolly block. If I could put to words what I can see/feel I'd make a great writer. N...

That fixes the ease of access issue.

The boats I'm around salt is a killer.

Windlasses are usually hard to get to, out of site and out of mind, suffering from lack of ....
Maintenance, boating and electric in general seem problematic.

Windlasses are great right until they are not.
It would be nice to have a replacement plan.
Make it easy enough to replace so it is not a major chore and replace every 2 seasons or so.
Sell the used one while it is still good and run with new regularly.

Just a idea.

We needed maintenance

What does AAB recommend for paint?

That would be great. Show off your work and we can drool.

Crap, I missed that was more of a private message. Please include the forum.

To add, 4' of difference in LOA when talking 14' to 18' is a huge difference when on the water in a boat.
