I've got a 17' Easy Rider Raven with a Roylex hull.I'm considering a couple of modifications.I welcome your advise.
It has alum. gunnels and thwarts I'd like to replace them with ash or some combo. of ash and a contrasting wood.But I read in one of Cliff Jacobson's book that Roylex tends to crack when coupled with wood.It sounded like cracks usually started around screws.I was planning to epoxy my gunnels on,I don't know if that makes any difference
Second ,I'd like to replace the seats with nice ash wood and cane seats but I think I would like to move at least the rear seat further back. But I don't want to ruin the trim of the boat.
I would appreciate any input
Thanks
Tim
