Matt this is what I am asking about

Got hull in sun warming up ready to glass in a couple of hours

If handles are OK I will retro fit them after glassing... along with centre console and rod holder plinths

ok I think I follow you.

You're saying you're going to not seal up the bottom part of that?

Cut out will be sealed with ply all round(bottom and 2 ends)and the dowel will form the handle
cut out will be maybe 2 1/2" deep..... do you think this will be a problem water coming into cockpit wise
as free board will be reduced by 2 1/2" in the area of the handles
hope this makes sense

naw ... that was a pretty cool video.

My son (13) and his friends are into making crazy skits and posting them on YouTube. Some of it is actually pretty funny.
