Brian, You can do anything you want to with an Ocean Cockpit..including...removing it! ;) See: http://www.geocities.com/shawnkayak/selkie/ Of course, if that is too drastic, yet you don't mind fiberglass work, I'd recommend making the existing coaming recessed, instead of simply grinding the edge. Cut the coaming away from the boat about 1" outside the edge of the outside of the coaming lip. Cut another 1" ring out of the deck. Use hot glue and wood blocks to glue the coaming in its new position. Glue some small wood blocks to form the new slope of the recess (see: http://www.geocities.com/shawnkayak/cormorant/#deck recess) [or, more ambitious glassers could simply drape cloth] between the cutout and the inset coaming. Glass inside and out. Paint. enjoy! Shawn __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo! Search - Faster. Easier.
