[Rhodes22-list] cockpit filler planks

[David Bradley]

I've got Stan's cockpit filler and finally put it to use yesterday.  It's 4
pieces of 1" or 3/4" plywood with plastic brackets to hold position, and 4
cushions to match the cockpit cushions.  The plywood pieces easily store
under the seat standning up behind the coaming.  I need to get them
resting on something so there is an air space between the plywood edges and
the sole.  The 4 cushions would also fit up under the gunwale if we wanted
to put them out of the way.  A picnic on the water lounging in the filled in
cockpit was great.  When the 12 year old is happy and the 81 year old is
also happy, you know you've found a solution and added a nice new dimension
to the boat.
