In Response To: Re: Strip: Yukon (Mike Robertson )

Sorry for the slow response but my days have been very long and I just have not had much computer time. I never made a photo catalogue of the build. I have a few pictures that I could send but not sure they would do it justice. There are some tougher spots around the coaming and you may want some narrow strips.
You should get some ideas from Nick on how to orientate the sheer strips. Anyway is acceptable and I had an easy time but he has some ideas that are worthy.
Lot more I could say but I have to head out. Can you e mail me direct and I can send a few pictures?
Suggest a homebuilt strip cutout front hatch as there is not room for a round VCP type.
Very tight for a ski footboard under the deck. Works great but too much work under the deck to set it up---no room, rails were placed before deck---easy
Had to cut corners of footboard to fit---easy
stay in touch, thx
