No. If I wanted to I don't know where I'd sleep. Why do you ask?

Lost at sea is never a good thing, lay down 2 to 1 scope as your boat is light and has little windage if you are close by. 3 to 1 with 15'of chain if your over night and want to sleep well.
Don

Home Depo give me a hr I'll find it. Should be a bunch around the Reef tank in the other post.;)

Some day you may not want to not chew up on of these.

Dan, how about some 1/4 wall reinforced vinyl tube sleeve to act as a chaff guard for the gun barrels?
If you look back at my gun rack images you can see the blue poly bungies and split vinyl sleeve
on the top of my gun rack. Look's great my the way.
Don

Nice choice Dan. Are you doing any over nights on your boat of shore?

I wish it was daylight.

Good things take time, your right you don't want pipe in the face, put a nice gun butt on the end.
How about a starboard rectangle with a padded end? Or a ellptaical loop with out ends to kill you?
The muzzel end is placed up into the halo then lowered into the bace plate you have.

Thanks Don.

Jeff, how would I clamp a flat bar to a round tube? I want it to be solid like a rock. In case someone puts their weight on it by accident.

Maybe one of those U bolts with nuts? If I can do this myself I would much prefer it. I'll be able to get the boat out much sooner.

Is a West Marine close to you ? they have allot of pre-made stuff. Get a catalog. I'll check back in after work.
SS ubolt and plate with SS Nyloc nuts.

Dan, use the Blue Poly bungies from West Marine, they will last 5 plus years in direct sun and used to be
warranted against breakage.
Don

Nice, looking foward to watching the build.
Cheers, Don Paul

I'm going to try the best I can... I had a great homemade Cuban dinner last night.

Ropavieja
Plantanos Maduros
Arroz
Enselada de aguacates
Cebollas
Camarones con Ajo

And a Nice Romeo and Juliet
Ciao Don

and watch your prop, and lower unit, and pretty much the whole outboard

Mike just needs to worry about his fins and the shore break.
Don

No rush... I'm going for a sand run.
Don

Quote from Dan

That will be the next thing to try.

The other thing is that up in the bow I have storage hatches. The fiberglass above them is obviously not as thick as the hull. I'm wondering if it's strong enough to support a cleat even with some backing from underneath.

Dan I can't find the thread that had images of your boat?

I like the weather but I can't wait to get the gills wet.

Take plenty of Antibiotics.:@:@:@ and don't use a float line, the baby dipers, lawn chairs and tree limbs
will get snagged and slow you down.

Did you see the story on the main page about "Godless Joe" the Atheist alternative to Santa?
That was pretty funny also.

I just read that, actually I need to be more careful what I post. I did did not realize last night (after a Fat
Martini) that it linked to another web site. Dan in there is a issue I will delete post.
Cheers, Don

Dan, now that you have a boat that line is now the Rode and the ratio of line to depth will be the Scope.
That anchor and it's rode is the thread that connects the lives of you and your mates to this world.
I am a very experienced skipper with a life time of gale winds, big seas and heavy duty Zodiacs anchored in all
types of bottoms and depth.

At some point you want to consider shackling a small red poly ball to the end of your rode. If there is a emergency
you can throw the ball and pick up a buddy ASP.

I'm going to scan some Navy stuff this week end for you. Could you post some bow and stern images of your
boat including the deck?

Cheers, Don
