CaptMP,
I checked Gore-Tex's web site, http://www.gore.com/creative/tanara.html
, it listed thread as one of their products. Gore-tex is a fabric, but it's
made from a thread, gore-tex thread.

plastic through-hulls with bronze...and rewire with tinned copper

Well let's see here...
1) Plastic (actually nylon) fittings don't react electrically with
anything.
So no galvanic corrosion, etc.
2) My boat has Anchor brand tinned wiring..?
3)No such thing as GORE-TEX *STICHING* (doubled up or other wise..check
their
web site..it's a fabric, not a thread).
4)While MARINE grade plywood is nice (more laminations per inch of
thickness,
no voids) it's still wood, glued together with waterproof glue, just like
exterior grade ply, and will definitely rot! Could you name me a boat
that
uses "Starboard" (your term) for bulkhead wallls? With more proof then
your
word.
If SeaRay built the kind of WA Cuddy fishing boat I wanted (even though
they
also have Zamark rail fittings) I might have bought one. They don't, and
I
didn't.
Like my Trophy 2052 though!
