Lennie,

Those are the studs I purchased. My hesitation is that you need to remove the track from the studs to remove the foot brace peddle thingies. If I want to load up the interior with bulky gear, I thought the peddles would get in the way, and I might need to temporarily remove them in order to make the stowage. I haven't really come to a final decision on this yet, but I'm getting close to the point where I'll either have to fish, or cut bait.

: I used t-bolts that I glassed onto the hull. I reinforced the area between
: the bolts and used thickened epoxy to stick them on and covered the bolt
: flange with glass. So far no problems. On the last boat I used the
: adjustable bulkhead style brace from Shearwater. It's the same as the one
: in Nicks book. I haven’t paddled with it much but my first impression is
: good. I will probably install one in my boat.

And who's boat is the one in the picture? Into experimenting on "other peoples'" boats are we? :)

Way to post the picture! I'm sure the original "poster" will do well with all the information! Be well!
Bill
