That's when a beer bottle cap gets set on the deck and the contents of the bottle thoroughly enjoyed.... :sly:



LOL, Actually it means removing the gunwale moulding and filling and rounding the parting line between the deck and the hull....AKA a lot of freaking work  :screwy: ....But looks sweet. ;)

Layup is just as Ralh says. It refers to how heavy/ thick the hull actually is. If you are looking for a river/lake boat  and are not planning on strictly racing I would look for a med or heavy layup.

so when you remove the gunwale molding what is used to fill and seal, fiberglass, bondo? I just picked up a new hull, less motor and pump and no molding, but it,s not capped. Any body know someone in the san diego area that does this work?

I'd start with Kevin @ KMG, he's down in your area.
I talked to him at the Yuma Power Tour last Oct., seems to be a good guy.
If he's to expensive then try O.C. Boat Repair.
It aint going to be cheap, alot of labor in it.
