QUESTION: Are there really four seals in the Quad-Seal Deck to Hull System™  just to attach the deck to the hull?
ANSWER: There are indeed four individual seals in this critical joint. This helps insure there are no leaks, even after the occasionally bumping by pilings and docks.  What's more, this seal is protected stem to stern by a replaceable rubrail. And for a final touch, it is capped off with a stainless steel striker.
