Spidey - really impressive boat. I wish I had your attention to detail. My boats end up very serviceable - but not too eye catching.

Concerning velcro. I've had nothing but bad experiences with wet velcro. I've lost a watch and some Tevas so far. I understand you can get velcro that works when wet - but it doesn't seem to be widely used by manufacturers.

I typically end up using silicone caulking to temporarily glue things in. It holds extremely well - but foam pieces can be pulled out without ripping. However, removing the leftover caulk is a hassle that I don't enjoy.

Thanks for the posts.
