The moment the hull and deck meet is one of boatbuilding’s most critical steps. Known as “mating,” this process transforms two massive composite structures into a single, unified vessel. We prepare the bond with a marine-grade adhesive that chemically joins the pieces, while mechanical fasteners lock the structure in place. The result is a hull-deck assembly built to handle the dynamic loads of high-speed runs and wakesurfing’s variable ballasted weight with quiet strength and endurance for years on the water. Precision at this stage is non-negotiable. It’s what ensures every Arc boat leaves our factory ready for peak performance.
Precision is non-negotiable--for a good builder. For a number of builders, it is 2" gaps filled with putty. And gaps and sags in the putty. Yes putty, not even toughened PMMA systems.
I dig it.
Excellent commentary
