what is better full capping or not

Huh?

Iwant to know the advantages of a full capping hull

well, it's at least twice as good as a half-capping hull...

Are you talking about capping the hull/deck joint and eliminating the rub rail?

If so, it’s purely cosmetic. Looks cool but a nuisance if you ever tie up alongside other boats, jetties etc. you’d go crazy setting fenders everywhere.

As rak rua said, it looks cool, but with no rubrail a pain around docks. But if it's a cat I would do half cap. That's just the front and the back of the boat. It looks clean, but you still have a rubrail on either side

thank you i understant

Half cap is more user friendly, still looks cool. I like the stainless rub rail for eliminators

Whether you have a rub rail or a full cap; most boaters are going to put their fenders out either way.

Most docks on the lakes are lower than the majority of the rub rail anyways so I never understand when people say it’s more or less of a hassle because either way, more times than not you’re still going to put your fenders out.

Is a full cap stronger than traditional style with a rub rail? Technically yes it is stronger to have a full cap because not only is the deck/hull bonded together on the inside but it’s also bonded on the outside when they add fiberglass to do the full cap.
