Hey Jay she looks great, can you powder coat over Aluminum

You can powedercoat aluminum. Many t-tops feature powder-coasted aluminum tubes.

Our powdercoat vendor could actually get a 23' boat in the oven if we wanted to!

One of our powder-coated aluminum pilothouses:

Hey Jay looks great The one thing I notice is the Top overhang If you welded 3 tubes across the rear top mounting tubes you could mount 10-12 more rod holders which is nice to clear the gunnel for for a gaff shot or out of the way tag stick gaff brush etc stuff that is handy to have out?
Did you do the under floor cuddy idea you had???

I always like suggestions and ideas but I'm not understanding yours - could you say another way?

There will be more handrails all around and a set of rocketlaunchers along the trailing edge of the top. Additionally, some SKA fishermen suggested that we put two rodholders mid way up the two rear, rectangular top supports to hold rods that are being rigged at the bait/tackle station.

Another unique idea that was suggested is two small (10 gal) livewells near the bow in the gunwale decks for "pitch" baits - never heard of such a thing...
