: I am a high school wood shop teacher and I have had several students build

: there?
: Thanks in advance for any help.

Sounds like a decent plan. Maybe you could take a router to it and thin it down some. You may have struck gold for helping your highschoolers keep their boats intact. The teenage years can be rough on boats.
