Hi Tom,

Heck if I knew you'd come up with a new section I'd have contacted you on the Sea Ranger I'm building. I just made my own mod, which works fine. Just now have to half sections, the one at the previous forward edge of the cockpit is not cut off at the gunnel and there is a new upper half section at the forward edge of the larger coaming. Don't think the spacing would work as well having only one section at the forward edge of the coaming anyway
