Randleman, I'm no expert but I would be careful in adding support in areas where it wasnt designed. The hull sides may be designed to flex to distribute stress. A hard spot may affect its ability to disperse the force of cutting through the water. Just a thought and there is a very good chance that I have no idea what I'm talking about ::) I remember hearing about creating hard spots on the hull when replacing stringers, I'm not sure if the same would apply here.

Great minds must think alike cause had the same thought but like you have no idea if legit or not.

I have no idea eaither! But that is to the rear of the boat, so I no think you have to worry about with the bow cutting waves. But who am I??

it shouldn't make much difference as it boxes in the chine, which is allready a hard spot, should actually strengthen the hull longitudanly, the boards that rigging pipe runs through are sitting on top of the factory gussets for the chine, all I've done is increased the height and boxed it in

Nice work SPARE. I wouldn't think the hull would be flexing right there with the angles of the material and all. But I am like the others, just guessing.

My '84 has a rigging tube already under the gunnel.

As for the track, when you see all the boats on this site with the nice tops and enclosures, that is where they attach.

Nice work, but I cant do that to mine. My stringers meet the side of the hull. I have pvc slots at the top for the steering cable and wires.
