Thanks Mike.

I am not going with a recessed coaming. I think I like Vaclav's 'glass coaming' idea, but don't like the idea of having something black to collect heat. I am going to try making a "mold" on top of the hull and lay up layer after layer of 6 oz and maybe add some light color. I like this idea better than the heavier, thicker wood design. Anyway thought i would try it and see how it goes.
