...and do tell, Ben, how exactly did you clean out the scuttle vent hinge
holes? I can't get a drill near them! I'm leaving mine bare on the inside
but painting it on the outside...no warping here either (unless you count
that the operator at the galv. yard dropped a 60 ft high voltage
transmission tower into the vat "ON TOP" of my bulkhead! ...that did take a
bit-o-bending, what I call a "forming adjustment", to correct...and they
didn't charge me for that dip!

On the galvanizing front, it worked quite nicely - no significant warpage to
speak of. The only problems I had were that there are lots of places for
the zinc to puddle, and so there was some grinding to be done to clean it
up. Also, all the "tubes" (bolt holes, front vent flap mount holes, etc)
filled up with zinc and they were a cast iron b!+(# to clean out.
