It certainly looks the part.

After being in Matts boat and sitting on the wingback seats Im toying with the idea of adding some to mine. Only because I can't afford those luuuurvley Ullmans.

[QUOTE=kerny;684186]Thanks A1an, that's what Maxi as well as Chris Caton suggested so that makes 3 of you, so maybe that's the way I will go. Mike Whitham here I come

[/QUOTE

Mike could glass in a couple of transom boxes if they'd be any use for anything else and perfect for fitting the frame to?

I have got someone local to to the glassing in, but that sounds like a good idea.

Had the A Frame feet glassed into the deck today......

6 layers of 2 ounce matting then covered with surface matting then gel coated, just need to source some battleship grey gel coat now to match the deck.

For that style at that time, bolted to the transom and screwed and glassed to the deck ply. Each one is passed by stringent QC

I also note looking at the pic that the nav lights are fitted correctly approx 1 meter from the all round white light a lot of people seem to have them higher up the A- Frame.

I like your website BTW willk
