[Rhodes22-list] Stan .... got mast stubs? how much?

[Arthur H. Czerwonky]

Mike,

It might be close,  putting the pop-top up with the mast in its normal position, even with the factory elevated crutch.  You could bolt 1" aluminum strip(8.95 48" Home Depot) to each side of Stubby and raise the mast off of the bow pulpit only at the camp site, back to the pulpit for transit, of course.  That would actually be very simple to do.

Tell you what, I like the idea so much I will make Stubby in my spare time.  Only problem, Mary Jane will want four, coated in the different colors to match her four season colored dresses.

What's a fella to do?
