Re: my 14' tom boy project

The deck is all in and screwed down also got strips of 1708 down the sides ready fore the csm now. Can i take the straps off the hull or should o leave them

That deck looks great Varns... I'll leave the strap question to the experts but my gut tells me if you have no further structure to be put back in then yeah, it should be ok.

Remove em, and check your measurements against those that you took prior to removing the cap. They should be + or - 1/4" to `1/2" hopefully.

Okay my little boat didnt have a cap i just put the straps on to keep her from flexing too much

Re: my 14' tom boy project

HMMM....No cap! What is she?? Does she have Bench Seats to attach the hull sides? What is the configuration going to be?
