![]() ![]() The wood finish is applied on top of a stain sealer that fills the wood grain and highlights the color of the mahogany. ![]() Deck side covering boards and trim on bow is solid mahogany planking from the original veneer log.Įpoxy glues are used throughout the boat and all fasteners are Stainless Steel or Bronze for strength and corrosion resistance. Computer controlled (CNC) five axis routers shape the solid mahogany transom corners creating a perfectly graceful finish to the hull profile.ĭecking surfaces consist of a sub-deck of marine plywood with overlay of marine certified mahogany decking plywood with solid maple or holly inlaid wood deck seam detailing. This creates very strong, precise wood joints and permits efficient assembly of the hull structure. Hull frames and longitudinal stringers, keel and chine members are cut from kiln dried Mahogany and Oak stock using NC (computer controlled) high pressure water-jet cutting machines. All screw or bolt fasteners are alloys of Stainless Steel for strength and corrosion resistance. All manufactured plywood surfaces are government certified 100% void and defect free, waterproof glue bonded Marine/Aircraft grade laminate. Specific care is taken to ensure that all through hull openings and fastenings are thoroughly sealed to prevent moisture migration to the core of certified marine plywood bottom panels or laminated topside panels. Interior and exterior surfaces are sealed creating a non-porous wood composite material that cannot absorb water. Comitti wood runabout construction utilizes state of the art epoxy encapsulation and saturation methods to completely seal all surfaces of all wood in the boat, not just the wood below the waterline. Comitti manufactures full length Marine plywood bottom panels for strength and safety. The jig is righted and the bottom panels attached. It runs the full length of the boat without screws or end-grain joints. The final outer topside layer of solid mahogany planking is applied using epoxy and the Vacuum Technique. Next, the two inner layers of veneer are applied to the sides with epoxy, non-metallic staples and clamps. First the frame is constructed on a precise jig. These are kiln dried to the optimum moisture content for dimensional stability and workability by Comitti boat builders. This log is sawn into solid thick planks and thin veneers. Only the finest logs with the most visually appealing clear grain are selected.
