: Hey Clayton-

: Looks great! It's cool to paddle a new boat, but always a shame to cover up
: all of the work on the frame with the skin. Did you do a saran-wrap test
: yet? What are the heights at the masik and isserfik? Really nice job.

: m

Thanks Mike I just brought the frame out today. I want to oil it first before a wrap test. Now you asked about some measurements this is what I did. Masik is from the hull skin to the top 10.5" the isserfik is 9" to the top from hull. The rear deck beam 6.67 to the top from hull. The foot brace beam from hull to deck is 9.75" clear. My feet fit but I let them turn out not straight up and down. It will be a snug fit and I like to be hooked to my boat.
I would like to ask a question. The urethane I got is the two part kind. I could not find Zar here would Helmans spar urethane work? I will use the Cory goop 2 part but for future use on others I was wondering.
