Starting Some time in the early eighties they were required to put them in two other locations. I have unearthed Cig hins under the rubrail on either side towards the stern on several boats

27-30 cig that's not very deep... does it have kind of a concave scallop running the length of the boat just below the rub rail and a raised strip in the middle of the deck?
