One of my friends has one - beautiful and well constructed. He had his powder coated before installing the interior - gorgeous. I'll look and see if I can find my pictures. I've wondered from time to time how powdercoating holds up on boat surfaces subject to abrasion. I know I've seen a couple of powdercoated tee-tops that begin to look a little weary after a couple of years of being banged into and scratched by gear, fishing rods, et cetera. Sure looks good when new though. Painting an aluminum boat? Does that not defeat the main benefit? /Lars Well, powdercoating can produce a nice, smooth finish that is attractive. If it is durable, it should wash off easily. |
