Takes a lot of trial and error, but the result is a double taper with a v section at both ends. A foam bow and stern piece and glass job completes it.

AND...before you do this process, install a 1x3 on the inside of the outrigger, push it to the side and fill the void above it with spray yellow foam. once it hardens, drill the pipe, through the foam and through the 1x3 and install two threaded bolts from the inside with the threads on the outside. now you have a means to secure this to the cross arms. shazaam. kung fu jedi masterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16702892471553969345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-897731496472085610.post-10993402631337035142009-07-10T19:35:36.018-07:002009-07-10T19:35:36.018-07:00silicone sealant

Will you be plugging the stern end of the ama with another foam cone or do you plan on simply closing it off with a PVC cap?Keithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06808615751587686605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-897731496472085610.post-65138839417793902862009-06-16T19:49:39.637-07:002009-06-16T19:49:39.637-07:00An elegant solution and another chapter in the &qu...An elegant solution and another chapter in the "Creative Handbook for Seriously Practical Beach-Build-Boating Adventure."
