New "Plate Aluminum' Pilothouse
http://aluminumalloyboats.com/viewto...133&highlight=
Smart-looking boat, have seen a couple from this manufacturer in the Bay, dealer is BOE Marine out of Annapolis. These are very sturdy, minimal maintenance boats for fishermen. |

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. |

If it is durable, it should wash off easily. |

Sure looks good when new though. It's held up really well. His brother owns a plasma coating place over in Putnam and when he bought the boat, he had the hull shipped, then cleaned the exterior with some kind of special wash agent, then had it coated. Up close and personal, it's got a few scratches and dings, then again, it's eight years old - most eight year old boats have little scratches and scuffs. Pacific boats have been something that I've considered over the past couple of years. I like them a lot - well built and rugged. |

I've seen aluminum that was hard anodized using different dyes for color that looked great and was very durable. Don't know if it can be done on large plates though. Eisboch |

Eisboch When the weather breaks here, I'm going to get a "demo" ride in one of the 26' plate boats. I will inquire. Incidentally, if you are in Annapolis, it's worth the time to stop at BOE to check the place out and also its environs. There are more high-dollar boats for sale within 100' of that store than anywhere else I've been outside of the Miami International Boat Show. I was pleased with the prices and service I got from BOE when I was shopping for electronics for son of Yo Ho. |
