Is there any on-line guidance on how to retrofit a pad to an existing v-hull? I'm a good fabricator - lots of one-off work - so I'm not worried about the structural issues. I'd just like to find some common sense guidance or rules of thumb to design and retrofit pads.

Thanks...Steve.

Sun pad, bottom pad, or girlie pad???

If your thinking bottom pad - it'd be easier to install a helicopter pad.

hmmmm hari kiri is easier and will produce faster results

the rule is its like ur women if you don,t like her bottom then its time to upgrade to one u do like..... other wise you will kill the resale value if you start grinding and glassing .....u can also create one ill handling beast that behaves badly.....or at best is unpredictable

Bare in mind I am NOT a boat builder - I'm more of a marine demolition specialist.
