Ken_Potts Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 Hello, Last Sunday I drove down to Vandemere and picked up plans & plywood for a Core Sound 17 (Yay!) I'm interested in setting it up so that I can camp on board occasionally. Any advice on how to set things up? Photos? The B and B website has photos of a tent on the Bay River Skiff and there is a mention of "lifting floorboards". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordy Hill Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 Hey Ken! You'll really like the CS17! I had a tent made like a Bimini top. It cost a bit over $500, but was tall enough to sit up in with the floorboards on the floor. With the boards filling the area between the seats and centrboard trunk I had a 5 1/2 foot by 8 foot sleeping area.

Gordy Hill Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 Ken, Click on Cruising Logs, Stories, and Articles. Then click on "Sawdust" at Tampa Bay. Gordy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken_Potts Posted March 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 Thanks Gordy, That looks like a nice weekend you had. It's the type of camping I'm thinking of. You've got a pretty boat there. I like sewing stuff so I'll probably make my own tent for the boat. You mentioned raising the floorboards to make a sleeping platform - How is that arranged mechanically? A ledge on the seats to hold the boards?
