Some more photos of the Deck/Hull process... It costs a little more to get the extras but I let Rick know that the boat would be in the Ocean Jumping waves... Rick if your around did I miss anything???

"When the deck is finally installed, all contact points with the hull & deck are glassed together. This ties the hull & deck as one unified structureunable to twist under severe stress it was built to withstand. This time tested method of engineering & installation is one of the most important factors of the lightness & indestructability of a SUPERBOAT hull.

John H2O (MY fellow superboat wavejumper). I dont read glassing the bow is an extra on a SUPERBOAT. http://i20.tinypic.com/2liht9y.gif

SB its more like the Entire Stainless Steel Rub Rail installation that is 'extra" about $1000 plus adding a greater freqency of the thru bolts instead of screws... Rick really got into it... I now know that the SS Rub Rail is not just a decoration and takes triple the time of the standard white rail installation...

Lots of Stainless Steel... The white plastic rails which are less money are only a single screw process with about half the screws and thru bolts...
Vary nice illustration of how a performance boat should be built. The man that put yours together did it right.
By the way, mine was not through bolted either. I do notice that Superbash's boat does have some through bolts.

Yes, this is the type of propaganda that lead me to buying a Superboat.

John. I know. I'm talking about standard SUPERBOAT construction methods not a custom Y2K rub rail install.
P.S. I might have to chill out on getting "radical" with you till mine is done properly.http://i20.tinypic.com/2liht9y.gif
