Thanks for the complements John! She is outfitted to the max!

After dinner I will forward along the picture of the cut I have via email as I am having a heck of a time switching over from the MAC to the PC and figuring out how to shrink the pics without cropping down so it does not display correctly, then maybe you can post the cut pic? The spot has no real give to it so I am curious as well, I will pull the cover plate for the fuel sending unit and see if anything can be determined, this weekend.

It currently has a transition cover strip used in flooring applications, over the cut to finish it off. No idea if this was the original "finish plate cover" for the cut.

I am also going to forward along a couple pics of the upper and lower hull attachment via the custom radar arch with integral bow and pulpit rail system.
The pulpit is not at all like the W/T version, much shorter and the rails are angled out along the lines of Garris's modification to allow for a +/- 6" walk around.

I can imagine that when the arch/rails were fabricated to link the top and bottom hull sections as well as the custom enclosure canvas and isinglass, it cost more than I am asking for the entire boat package! Quite an engineering/design feat! That's why originally I was curious if it was a factory option, Joe says "not" in the other thread, he figures it was" aftermarket".
