In Response To: Strip: Outer Island measurement (Bob Deutsch)

: If any builders of the Outer Island would post a quick measurement, I would
: really appreciate it.

: I am looking for the dimension from the floor to the underside of the deck at
: the front of the coaming of the Outer Island.

It's gonna be a function of the builder's individual modifications such as cockpit length and deck height if they deviated from the plans.

But based on the stock plans with the stock cockpit ... here are the dimensions directly from the plans:

Form 8 is 10.3" high and is located 12" forward of form 9.
Form 9 is 10.4" high and is located 3.9" aft of the forward cockpit inner edge.
So inside ... nominaly it's about 10-3/8" high.
