    Hi Jeff,

    I thought I would ask you since you do all types of boats for fresh and salt water applications.  In terms of screws and fastenings what do you suggest?   There has been a number of comments on this site talking about  "iron sickness"    I can understand using s/s,bronze, or even monel in a $50,000 + yacht.  But how long are these plywood drift boats suppose to last?   If you trailer the boat and keep it in a garage out of the weather, could you get 20 years of good service before it got really bad?      A well used car barely last 10 years before you need a major overhaul.

     

    I would love to hear your comments.

     

    Regards,
