: I am finding the prices for the various materials involved in a stripper.
: Right now it looks like it will cost about $675 for materials and plans,
: does this seem about right?

: As for the materials,I'm having trouble locating pad-eyes for the deck lines
: and what not. What do you guys recomend for a snag free type and where can
: you get them? Would it be better to go with recessed ones? So many
: questions, so little time

: I woud appreciate any help you could give me! Thanks!!!

Hi Travis,

I just finished my boat and opted to use "Greenley loops" for my deck rigging instead of the black plastic padeyes that I originally bought. They seem perfectly functional, I just liked the idea of less hardware on my deck to get snagged as I clamber about. I have 8 of the plastic padeyes along with the SS hardware. Drop me an email if you think you can use them and I'll be happy to send 'em off to you.

Jim
