Thanks RogerThat, I'm not gonna wait much longer.
I liked the carbon fibre in the seats so I decided to use it for anti-glare under the canopies.

I'm hoping to have a drive-on trailer, the bunks are set to the exact width of the tunnel. (at the top of the angle)
Yes, I am retired ......... I didn't work this hard for a living. ;-)
24 foot 2x6 .... about a 1/2 mile from me, Big B lumber has them in stock.

Is yours getting close? your sneeker pics look "Good"

Leave room for carpet and loading on your width. I made my 338 bunks 1/2' narrower on each side and they sit under the inner strake. Can be a real pain to load with wind and rain without help!

"Gotcha" Thanks .... I'm gonna try with nothing but the tunnel top finding the champher on my bunks. I'm hoping as the boat slides up to the dryer parts of the bunks and begins to load itself it will center up. My tunnel walls are about 8" wider than my bunks at the vertical wall height. If I have to, I'll put some acc. guides lower on the stanchions. I'm using a 4 point tie down ... just like the big boys ;-)
