Several of my customers purchased starboard to be used to make storage boxes, tables, seat foundations and other specialized stuff. No one ever got back to me on how their projects worked out. I just assumed things worked out well for them but for all I know they just might have been using mechanical fasteners to build their stuff. After running my hand along the surface of a piece of starboard, I believe you Brian when you say things will not stick to it. That stuff is as smooth as a babies ass. It also seems to have a Teflon like composition. Was wondering if one would be better off using a shallow dovetail bit such that the base of the rout channel is wider than at the surface? I am starting to think that it would be far better for me just to write down the address of this website on a piece paper and hand it over to anyone asking about mounting a transom xducer. I noticed that JackC is currently off line. Is he going to be surprised when he comes back on and sees what he started, and it's probably not over yet!
