Re: 1963 13-footer Transom Eye Location

Good tips, much appreciated. I’m near the end of my fairing process and starting interior paint. I will have more-or-less a blank slate when I go to install the interior. I did mock up the c.1970 interior when I brought it home, and I assume it may be already correct for raising the thwart seat as y...
