: got that scheme. He's the guy to watch!

: Beautiful boat, and congrats on the launch! I agree with John, it
: really doesn't take much at all. Just epoxy a piece of scrap
: strip to the bottom, oriented vertically, about 6" long,
: tapered to nothing in the front and rounded off in the rear.
: Knock it off with a hammer and add a bit longer one if you want
: to change it. Maybe use super glue to tack on scrap strip test
: skegs to find what you like best first. It's the easiest thing
: you've done all day.

Thank you once again kurt it is funny how the deck line arrangement has gone full circle. I will have you know that while I was figuring the placement I had a valley boat at my shop and used the measurements of the deck lines and bungees from bow to stern to help with placement. On that note... next time I get a yak in the shop with your type of repair I will take step by step photos of the repair and email them to you just to further your knowledge.
