I'm definitely with Spare - my only experience with powder coating is in construction applications, bike racks, railings and things like that. I'm not at all impressed with its durability and wouldn't consider using it in a marine application. Just my opinion.

My t-top is powder coated, I bought it that way about 10 years ago. It is still in excellent condition. I also had my jack plate powder coated. With that said my t-top came off a scarab and is 2" aluminum tubing, very stout. The powder coated told me flex is the downfall of powder coat and nothing else. If it flexes it cracks and all falls apart.

The problems I've see with it are chipping from impact and getting scraped by something hard. Not as likely on most boats unless you're banging dive tanks around as it is on guard rails or public bike racks but something to consider. I would use a coating with more flex to it.
