Decks
Yea i just struck a line across deck and bow 2 inches and the Freeboard is 17 inches from that line.. not much to keep you inside.. I did not draw lines on the outside when she was in the water..before teardown.. Would have liked to get a starting point.. I just cannot see this boat at rest displace that much more water. I pulled old picts of the boat in the water with some gear. and it rested at about one inch above chine in the stern...I am going to leave it the way she is Although I will have trouble killing the deck into the forward area as I start to get into the chine.... I will probably bring the upper bow gunnel back some about 15 inches and get more area to stand on and throw 10ft cast net.. then killit itno the deck.. That way i will have more anchor storage. as well.. here are some pictures .. You can see a good scum line on the hull. I will just keep it a 1" above the stringers. Building bracket first and attacing to boat then loading with parts to see where I need to be with weights and all. Thanks for the help...
