In Response To: Strip: Really need to know if cockpit Sz.is OK! (Joe)

Joe,
I just finished my latest boat. The cockpit is 16.75" x 21". I have 7" depth in the stern and 9.5" depth forward. I'm 6'2" and #210+- I'm concerned that I might have made it too big, oh ya, if I can fit my size 13 feet in my boat you should be able to fit those hooves of yours in with room to spare. Ther is a discussion going on on the Greenland board regarding cockpit size that'll confuse you even more. Don't worry your cockpit is plenty big enough.
Bob
