Just to add, that is all sealed using sikaflex and if I park it down hill and it rains, it all fills up with water. Can also use it to bond the plate to panels.

If you want a good solid boat, go for a 6m+ Ribcraft or Ribtec with Twin Outboard Engines or a decent diesel for smugness. If you want a poser mobile, I'm the wrong person to ask, lol.
