Oddly enough, but I can't extend the cockpit keelsen  bar even to the 2nd
hole.  Stern frame half is on the 3rd hole (i.e. the longest set of frame
half) , though.  Manual for Big Kahuna recommends 3rd hole for a rame half,
and so I did.

Are you extending the keel bar first , then going to the chine bar and then
to the gunnel bar.  When I speak of the holes I call the first hole (the
hole you reach first when extending)          second hole(the hole you reach
second when extending)
  the third hole ( the furthest you can extend the bars)

Could be in your particular boat you only need to go to the first hole.  I
am curious, let me know how it goes.  If all else fails give your dealer a
call (if it is one of the knowledgeable dealers, if not give the factory a
call).  I had the opportunity to meet Doug and Dan at the  East Coast
Gathering in April and they are great folks.
