: Hi Bill

: I´m building the Sea Tour 17 EXP. I was thinking about putting in a half
: section nr 3,5 then gluing som thinner ribbs than shown in the exelente
: Yostwerks.com.

Hi Daniel,

The Sea Tour 17 is pretty wide, you can get away with a higher seat I'd think and still have a stable boat. I'd ask Tom (yost) though if you have questions.

I used Tom's method of using aluminum angles on my Sea Ranger and that method works well enough. Friend had the idea that I thought was worthwile, to use velcro on the aluminum angles to hold the slats in place, then they could be relatively easily removed to clean under them.
