Fiber glassing question
I have a Carolina Skiff boat that I want to attach a grab bar to the floor. It is about 36' high by 12". I do not want to drill holes into the deck to keep away from water intrusion and I do not think...

If that is for a person to grab on to, the amount of force that is applied at 36" is greatly magnified at the base. How is the base constructed. If it does not have multiple gussets it will fail.
The strongest wood for the job is white oak. Much better than red oak or poplar.
Thickened epoxy works well for attaching the wood to the floor, but start by applying un-thickened epoxy to the bottom of your board. Wait until it starts to cure before attaching to the floor.
