> Good point, I'll do that on the next boat. BTW, we have a big-box hardware store here, the Eagle chain that has a little secret. They will cut sheet goods to dimension for a fee, and they throw the remnants in a bin. They give the remnants away for free, and I check the bin on every trip. I've gotten some 3/4" x 4' x 4' ABX and other goodies that are perfect for racks, templates, models, whatever. Everybody wins, because if we don't rescue them they pay for disposal and clutter up a landfill.

At this point, look at folding boats
