They are rather tricky to fabricate, especially the first time. I had planed on offering these for sale, but they are just too labor intense, and each boat is a little different and requires too much fitting to be mass produced. I would say one should have better than average wood working skills to do the project. Walter Reynolds 1973 Boston Whaler 16 Nauset 90 HP Yamaha

As some of you may or may not know, I had to have open heart surgery in May to repair a valve that was chewed up by some sort of infection, endocarditis. Things are getting back to normal, and I might even get this boat of mine in the water before the stripers show up in force in September.
