The adhesive required in the boat building industry is called boat building epoxy. Epoxy is a thermosetting polymer whose chemical name is polyepoxide. Epoxy is formed when its two constituents are mixed in a certain ratio. These constituents are resin (epoxide) and a hardener (polyamine). When these constituents are mixed together, they form a kind of boat glue or epoxy that ensures strength, stability, and sturdiness of the...more

Assessing the value of a boat is among the most important tasks of owning a pleasure craft, for sales value and also to inform other parties like lenders, brokers, insurers and marine surveyors. For a new boat, this is a fairly simple task, since the price you paid for the boat is a relatively good standard for determining its value. What is more difficult is assessing the value of a boat factoring depreciation and normal wear and tear. How do you financially account for upgrades in amenities and equipment? In general, there are two valuation methods for insuring boats: Actual Cash Vale and Agreed Value. Assessing Agreed Value This is the method most often used when writing a new policy. This method uses the current market value of the boat at the time the policy is written and can be established in a variety of ways:the purchase price if the vessel is new;written confirmation from a reputable boat broker who operates in the same market in which the vessel is insured;a survey by an underwriter-approved marine surveyor who can provide a condition, detail and valuation document on the vessel.Under the Agreed Value method, there is no accounting for depreciation - if...more

Most Boat and Yacht flooring is usually Teak and Holly sole which takes a lot of abuse in foot traffic. It has a great look, and enhances the interior. On someboats or yachts, it is an option, but some boats come with the teak and holly sole as standard. Whether you have a Powerboat or Sailboat, the problems are what to do when it wears out, and how do you know it is time to do something. Here is what to do… I have to tell you, not only did I dread to do this, but feared how it would come out. I did not want it to look worst after a fix, I wanted it to look better. I heard all kinds of stories from Boat owners, and some looked to sell their boats or yachts instead of repairing the teak and holly sole. You could not do just part of the flooring like a hatchway, it would stick out…You would have to do all of the flooring, once you started. With determination after looking at what new Teak and Holly looked like, I decided to take the plunge. The supplies are very inexpensive, and the results even after the first brush stroke is amazing! The main Boat supplies are sandpaper (220 grit) and varnish. You will have to decide if you want a satin or gloss finish on your...more
