Re: [bolger] A New Shoe
I have always thought of the exterior stringers as expendable wear
strips. I made the mistake of permanently attaching them on one boat,
and repairing them was a lot harder than removing and installing new
ones would have been if I had planned it that way originally. If you do
choose to protect them, than you might consider some high density
plastic from McMaster. Back in my dog mushing days I put three thousand
miles on one sled in a winter, and the plastic runners were still good
to go at the end of the season.

I put a shoe on the bottom of my glassed over keel using 1/4 x 2 inch oak,
glued with thickened epoxy. This has survived two years of trailer use, and
the occasional beaching. I used oak because I had the strips in the scrap
pile, another hard wood would probably do. I used epoxy since I was still
building when I added the shoe, if I was adding it later I'd use 5200 or
another polyurethane adhesive.
Congrats on fixing the septic system -- been there, done that, threw away
the T shirt!

Try adding a bottle (an once or two) of powdered Cayenne Pepper to
your final colour paint and have the store shake it up. Up here it
keeps zebra mussels off, might work on barnacles too.

I've seen shoes clad with metal or protected by rubber strips. These
need to be fastened by some sort of tabs or flanges to the sides of
the shoe, not directly into the face, since the fastener heads would
wear off and let the strip separate. Don't remember where, but I saw
one case where a guy used a dock bumper.

Hey, David:
One idea would be to use a sacrificial shoe. Glass the bottom flat (with no shoe) and paint it, then use 3m 5200 to attach an unfinished 2x4 shoe to the bottom. Leave the shoe unfinished. (Don't use epoxy to so this, as it won't hold wood that gets wet) You can replace the shoe periodically.
I'm not sure if this answers your question or not - it's been a long day.
