Finished the boat and brought it home from my buddies a couple weeks ago.Now its time to set it up the way I like it.Heres what ive done so far.First I built a cockpit cover to keep the weather out.Next I bent the bow for the spray skirt and installed a combing to match.Then I made some grass rails and and attached them.Am undecided about what I'm gona do for canvas Heres some pics.

Everything looks great! Your spray dodger design is very similar to the ones I use. What is the material you are using for the curved rail at the bottom of the dodger? Did you have to heat it to bend it?

BTW: I have been using Sunbrella for my canvas. Easy enough to sew on our Sears Kenmore sewing machine but it holds up for many seasons. I get the Tan color but usually paint the dodger with a thinned duckboat paint.

All the best,

Thanks Steve,i made the bottom dodger rail and the grass rails out of 1 x 6 PVC .I ripped down to 1 1/4 wide w a slight bevel for the bottom rail.Its material that we use for exterior trim on houses now adays .I did not heat it its pretty flexible wen its warm out.
