"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.

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...

This is how Rick glassed the Hull to the Deck... The deck is thru bolted to the Hull, The Rub Rails white base is screwed and thru bolted thru the deck and hull, then the stainless Steel rail is screwed and thru bolted thru the deck and hull Finally the inside of the hull/deck joint is glassed over and then gelcoated... 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...
By the way, mine was not through bolted either. I do notice that Superbash's boat does have some through bolts.

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.
