Your boat is going to be a little tricky with the ss insert but it sure will look nice when it's all finished. If the ss insert does not work out the you could always glue a piece of rope in there

Doc learned something from the slacker? This is exciting. I will have to print this out and frame it. It will reside in a place of honor next to my Franklin Mint Civil War memorabilia.
Our old neighbor had a Nautica cat and it did ride sweetly. Not so easy on the eyes though.
I called twin vee and asked for a tour. Roger?, the owner said to come on up. One of the first things I look at are the hull sides. Wavy says I don`t care about molds and quality. The cap to hull joint/ GAP was between 1" and 1 1/2" all the way around. No rail yet so I could see the polysulfide caulk used to fill the gorge. The rivets pre-spidered the cap of a new hull...no one poke inggy, and nothing but chopper guns.
The rigging made my slacker look stellar. Fast forward to my tour of Ocean Master. Artisans practicing their craft. Cap holes countersunk and screw slots lined up like Gen. George Pickett`s
charge. That is how it is done folks.
Terry, call Barbour plastics in Ma.. They make the Taco stuff and you can buy direct. Say Hi to Cindy Lou Who.
