Dry cuddy

[bgreene]

With the V21 design of sliding bow section, completely dry cuddy has been a goal when the weather and waves are rough.

Over the past year or so, I've:
1. removed cuddy slider assembly, re caulked, re screwed, re assembled.
2. custom slider cover with rubber pressure flange and snaps.
3. clear silicone'd the entire rub railing top and bottom contact, to ensure no gaps into the hull.
4. replaced two thru hulls

Yesterday, after running back from seabass reef attempt in 2'-4' and related spray, I'm pleased to note nearly completely dry cutty. I'll add, only drips were off the cuddy door, which I figured out can also be eliminated. I believe this is about as good as it gets for this model boat.

Keeping this boat solid as it is, floor,transom, cuddy etc is good for me, and good for next owner should I ever sell........
