In Response To: Skin-on-Frame: Sea Rider (Tom Yost) modification? (James D)

James,

I had the same issue with a 17' Sea Tour XL.

Instead of plywood I laminated the upper section of frame 4 (at least it was the front end of the cockpit) in place to make it ~1.5" wide by 0.5" deep. Probably 1/8" plies.
The lamination also raised the shape of the frame next to the gunwale.

There was lots of extra room, I'll make a second post to show the final shape.
All of this was done while re-skinning the boat.
There was more strength in the frame than originally.

Of course the original plywood frame member and the block used to define the contour were cut out to finish.
