Thanks, I think I'll try that today - weather permitting.
Now for the next question:
I'm getting around to thinking about oars. Yes, I know, I probably should have thought about them a while ago. But, honestly I just wanted to finish the build in order to have the boat available for this summer. Anyway, how do you stow a pair of 9 foot oars in a 17 foot boat? It seems that they would come past the CB by about 2 feet, and be a constant source of annouyance. I've searched the site, but have found nothing that adresses this specific question.
Thanks
