I am installing the custom sliding seat and rigger to an Annapolis Wherry.  The wherry I built has an inwale on the interior of the frame, so I cannot install the mounting block(s) to the inte...

I have gotten my replacement kit from duck works. However the slow time at work I had planned for boat building passed while I waited. That combined with not wanting to spend time in a 100+ degree ...
