You did...you are...you didn't... When and where? I'm not going to make next Tuesdays race start, probably not the next either with this LAX coaching gig...

Should I put them behind the third tree to the left at the 424/50 park-and-ride? I'll be at the So. River HS turf field tonight from 6 to say 7:45...

I know I'm resurrecting an old thread here, but do the slugs actually enlarge the slot over time? Has this actually happened to anyone?

Yes they do.

I've tried all manner of trying to fix the slot system on my N20. The solid webbing strap that goes the whole length of the slot with fiberglass rod backing was the best system, but it even gave up the ghost over time. It would fray at each end.

So I said screw it, and filled in the slot on each hull with resin and filler, then drilled my own screw buttons and laced the tramp to it like all the new boats come with.

I was sick of dealing with having to relace my tramp every 6 months.

Mine has lasted me a year, and I would suspect at least a few years before I bought the boat. Sun damage is the only thing that has affected mine.

Okay, thanks guys, I guess I'll go with the webbing system. Sounds like I need to do a bit of sanding then?
