Brass; what else? I wanted the top edge of the deck to be thin and strong, so I chose to use brass angled-strip. This was a lot of work, as they had to be carefully cut to fit the entire upper circumference of the deck. Click Once To Enlarge

The Deck Trim As the brass trim I used for the deck needed to be high enough to accommodate the plywood of the deck from the inside, on the exterior, it was much to high. Click Once To Enlarge

I had to reduce this on the exterior, by gluing strips of 0.5 X 1.5mm (.020 X .060") styrene plastic strip to the edge. I had planned for this (for a change) and ensured that the brass was secured to the top of the hull "in" just enough to accommodate this strip so it would be flush. Then the seam was filled with putty and sanded.
