: Hey John,
: Been watching your combing idea. And been keeping my mouth shut. I like your
: inventive streak.

: But I'm gonna suggest that your boat is drop dead gorgeous all wood. I'm with
: the others on this one. Ditch the body putty and go with plywood or rope
: combing. It will look better with all the effort you put on your ram in
: lay.

: Good luck !russ

Anyone feel free to critisise anything I do. I do go off on tangents but it is just something I have to get out of my system. If I did put on something crappy for the coaming I was going to sand it off this winter and do it right. I am running out of time and may have to skip it for my trip. For some reason I am having trouble getting the coaming into my thick head and I will carefully think about all of the ideas. Thanks. And Russ thanks again for naming my boat RAM-TUFF. That will be true of my front deck. It took 5, 6 oz. layers of glass to get the cracking and filling problem fixed. That is why I am running behind.
