Hi again Glen,

One thing I did find (remember?) is that the "rubber strip" on many production boats is really a plastic H channel, slipped over the hull that allows for an easy (fast) connection of the deck. On the outside it just looks like a rub strip.

This is a "quick" project (I'm hoping) so things are happening quickly, some searches just have to wait. Started this last week and tomorrow I should start assembling the frame, should be starting the covering by the weekend.

Bill H.
