[Rhodes22-list] Miami Boat Show this weekend

[The Rhodes 22 Email List]

Ted,

Apparently you all did not get in.  We leave early am for St Pete, so another time.  Atlanta is at 16F tonite, so we are happy Floridians for another half week.

There are many small boats outside the show entrance in addition to mostly huge craft inside.  Good parking was available ~ 7th street/2nd Ave @ $5 all day.  Good food @ an Argentinean restaurant in the food court - very impressive chicken and beef choices.

I had the good fortune to cross paths with a other Navy grad.  Good stories.

Well, you enjoy the big show, although I think the Annapolis show outshines...

R,

Art

Tonight I open it to the table of contents and guess what one of the articles was about?   Page 60, "Sealed up Tight When is comes to securing the hull to deck, which method is best?" by Don Casey.

Further he states that this process is expansive so some builders use flexible adhesives to bond the deck and hull, like 5200.  He goes on and states that repairs on the joint are not treated as two halves, since there is no reason to.  In most cases the deck to hull repair is done without a joint in the damaged area.
