Collegiate FJ

Hull and Deck

• All thru deck mounted hardware is supported by tapped aluminum backing plates glassed to the inside of the boat which eliminates inspection ports.

• Forestay chain plate, extruded aluminum with three ¼” fasteners thru bolted into an aluminum backing plate which add durability and strength to the boat.

• Shroud chain plate is a forged eye strap supported with aluminum back-up bar under the rail for additional durability.

• All flanges and hull to deck joints are bonded with Plexus methyl methacrylate structural adhesive to eliminate leaks and hull/deck separation. This is the strongest bonding agent on the market and Zim is the only company to use this to bond their boats.

• Elastomeric urethane bow bumpers are the industry standard for increased durability.

• One-piece high-density urethane gasket retainer with cloth gaskets to increased durability and allow for easy maintenance.

• Heavy duty rub rail for added durability. Standard duty rub rail is an option.

• Filled stern rails are standard.
