Thread: Sprint boat update - Cap meets hull...

This is a big one. How much taping do you have to do to tie the cap back to the hull?

Taping? Duct tape? Dono, a couple rolls maybe! just kidding. The top and bottom were just rivetted together. Did have some seal-o-meal stuff like sillycone in them cracks though, but no duct tape that I remember! And the transom had some concrete like stuff holding it solidly together. But for now, the top is a little wider than the bottom from sitting. Pretty much what you told me would happen! I did listen, and tried to support the top good, but I guess not good nuf. And maybe the bottom got squeezed over the year on the stands I had them on. In any case, it's really not much, maybe an inch max, in one spot over the course of each sides edge. And I was able to use screws to get them close. Gonna let the florida sunshine shine down on it, so they melt back together over time. We'll see whilst I work on the wiring, and such. And other projects, but I ain't in a rush, so we'll hope they mate up a little over time, and some hot days!
