Yea I got ya, 5 extra feet makes a huge difference. The cabin in your boat reminds me a lot of mine. The fresh water tank was on the starboard aft of the galley.
Ok, then I suppose you intend to use your boat in the winter and still have an all around view while cruising and keeping wind and water at bay.
I have a cuddy but frisky doesn't knock too often these days unfortunately. :)
I suspect he's using it because it remains a bit flexible and is relatively water proof. I think epoxy would be too brittle. The wood needs flex due to variance in moisture. Could be other polyurethane products but 5200 is proven.
We had a lot of lightning and rain, power came on about 10 minutes ago. If it stays on I won't need to start a fire, oh, and I can now flush the toilet again..
Take this as a grain of salt.
On my previous 21ft scorpion I had a 21p x 14 1/4, I came across a deal on a Michigan 19p x 15 1/2 that I bought for spare. It soon was my choice. The extra diameter gave me better brakes and didn't have any adverse effect on top end.
