Whitewater decking

One latch or two per hatch? Sure am enjoying the ridiculosity and tangents...brings the whole thing into suspect perspective.

Whitewater decking

Thanks everyone for the thoughtful insight. This remains a super fun project with learning at every turn. I'm Jammin to finish by a March 25th put-in. Thanks again! Joe

Ok, unless I hear a good argument against it I'll error on the side of strength for now. Still working on hatches today and this weekend and on to bulkheads and decking by next if all goes well. I ap…

Great input Robb. The deck split in halves makes alot of sense. Jeff Peak sent me this link for latches http://www.southco.com/class/c5-sealed-lever-latch felt they were worth the expense. The ribs a…

Yeah, fantasic! Thanks Brad. "Duro" is the density. I needs to be at least as dense as my head.

It's really hard to tell, since all of them get good care and seem to be immortal. The ones with ribs seem to be a bit more of a pain to work on in a big crash scenario. And when you're fitting decks, painting, etc. they are a project to work around…

Hmm. I dunno. The receipt says 1107-5 Neoprene 60 Duro 1/2". Does that help?

Ukulady replied to Joe Dengler's discussion 'Whitewater decking'
Which density do you go with? Nott Atwater has a few options; basically Soft, Medium, Hard. Do you put a bevel on those strips? If so, do I need to hire a magician to pull it off? And Joe, sorry for the off track thread post.

How do you think the boats with bulkheads stack up against the Briggs with the bolted ribs in terms of longevity?

This is a brilliant thread. Brad said it, no logical answer to many of those questions. The beauty and hilarity is the magnificently nutball ways in which we justify these things to ourselves, and attempt to justify to others, namely our passengers…

Randy is right on in bringing up how appropriate a technology is in one place and how totally goofy that same idea might be in another. The stuff we've been coming up with in Grand Canyon is not really all that applicable to anywhere else in the gal…

To be honest, I cannot say for sure that the exterior chine makes a lot of difference. Several of the full-time guides I was running with in the big water (30,000-60,000) swore it was a huge improvement, so I went along with it--didn't want to miss…

question about outer chine strips - my boat is S&G, and I've run it for 3 seasons without outer chine strips. How much stability do they really add? Is it noticeable? Would it be worth the trouble of adding them to my boat? I became friends with Re…

Oh, on the video that Randy has attached to the website, an oldtimer describes inventing the rub rails because the old boat trailers had no fenders and the tires, mud, and rock would damage the boat sides--so they stuck that extra strip of wood on.…

Ukulady replied to Joe Dengler's discussion 'Whitewater decking'
Brad, Do you put anything on the chine? I've seen rubber strips which seem like they might displace some impact force. What are trailer fenders? -Sounds usefull.

Hey Joe...I did a stitch&glue boat, not framed, so specific and detailed measurements were not as important as w/ a framed boat. Do i understand you're building a framed boat?

write me on my yahoo account, and I'll give you my number and we can talk on the phone. I'd be happy to share my experience with you.
