Super job on the boat Mike! Is that your boat that will be for sale this year?

I should let Mike answer the questions, so jump in Mike.
Kenny... a high side usually has two inches more side panel than a standard. I usually say at the oar lock but oar locks aren't always in the same location. 22" sides for low side, 24" sides for standard, 26" sides for high side.
Greg, the metal guard has been used by Ray Heater and Cyrus of Ray's River Dories for years. It works very well. They use stainless steel 1/2 inch 1/2 round hollow back rub rails. You can buy the stock at http://www.jamestowndistributors.com/userportal/search.do?freeText=rub%20rail&page=GRID&history=lruferyk|other|freeText~stainless+rub+guard^page~GRID^user_att_name0~UserType^user_att_value0~NewUser
Mike - Great looking boat... is that Meranti?? I like the multiple options for Oar Locks... looks like you even have one back toward the transom between the 8 & 9 ribs??
I also like the silver guard rail along the bottems of each side... great look - does it work as well as the UHM plastic? (I'm thinking of changing it out on mine)...
Greg
Thanks Mike. I did get both sides from one sheet, so I guess it qualifies as a low side.
I picked up a Baker Trailer from Randy today... at least it is now missing from his yard. Nice looking trailer, all galvanized. Can't wait to load the boat tomorrow and try it out.
