Thanks Steve,
The strips aren't really wide, but because I didn't bead and cove them, I suppose they might be a little wider. I don't yet have a good pic of the slide
It's simply 3/4"x1/4"thick x22"long white nylon sunk in little cedar frames.
This is glued down to the hull. I routed 1/4" grooves under the seat.
If I did it again, I'd use 1" instead of 3/4" and route the groove a little deeper. This would create a pinch on the seat and prevent it from pulling up.
