John,
It has been raining here after work this week so I haven't had a chance to take any measurements. It didn't occur to me that I may run out of boat width to do this with the size coaming I have already made. I am afraid to go smaller as it is not huge in the first place. Guess I'll have to check that situation out.

Thanks,

Tony

: Tony,

: That looks pretty similar to what I'm planning. One difference is that I was
: thinkin' that having an angled riser in the back instead of a vertical
: one, just to allow a little extra room to get the knuckles in there for
: spray skirt installation. And, it looks like at the widest point of
: things, due to the width of my cockpit, that the recess will just run out
: the the width of the boat and I'll just end up lowering the sheer a bit in
: that area. Also, I'll be leaving the forward portion of the combing
: un-altered. I'm sure that I'll be adjusting my plan to account for things
: that I haven't considered yet.
: We'll see how it goes when the time comes to put the saw to the boat -- I can
: only hope that I'll be as brave as Shawn...
