Re: 34' Multi-angle Deadrise: PaPaJ Launched

Kevin, Love the boat and the execution of the design. Question on the aluminum rub rail - I thought you were a fan of the skip weld in this case, as opposed to fully welded ? The fully welded looks beautiful, but concerns for excess moisture/corrosion ? Anyway, thoroughly enjoyed watching the build ...

Re: Pacific Boats 26 Hardtop Center Console For Sale

Possible to link or post pics of the boat directly ? It's not easy to discern which is the Pacific boat and which are the Bayweld to those that don't know.

What boat(s) do you have coming ?

Re: Side mount rod holder suggestions?

I used Clickbond to mount SS studs under the gunnel to which rod racks were mounted. Added benefit is that the acrylic adhesive isolates the SS from the aluminum hull so there's no galvanic reaction. http://www.clickbond.com/ Weldmount is similar - http://www.weldmountsystem.com/?gclid=CLeliMrJmMsCF...

Try private messaging Welderbob here (you can find him in the members index) or alternatively, go onto his FB page and contact him there:

He used to work for Tom Carney (Thomas Marine) and he may know that boat.

My years of perusing AAB has beaten into me the cautions of placing dissimilar materials against the hull/deck, and it was ...
