Thank you for that information. I was down in the Laz over the weekend, redoing cockpit and motor well drains as well as doing some electrical.. The piece of fiberglass ply appears intact, but I do not trust that there is not some rot that I cannot see. I have several of those cutting boards I bough...

For 9.9hp Honda, did you do any significant reinforcement to the transom? I just got a great deal on an 8hp Honda... much like yours, electric start, 4-stroke, etc and was wondering if I would need to add additional reinforcement.

Thanks,
Carolyn

Try looking at SailRite. They have plans for a dodger that might work for your pop-top. http://www.sailrite.com/Dodger-Instruct ... wnloadable
