I am happy you are getting it worked out. 
I cant help re-sizing to see it better:

Nice!  What's it look like with the ladder folded up? Got a way to secure it there, or is it pinned on and you take it off to be underway?

I plan to leave the ladder on the boat only for diving or fishing alone.  I could benefit from a joint in the ladder for better stowing it while under way.

Nah ... If it were mine, I'd be good with just the bungie, but keep a spare in the spare parts locker ... the collision chamber up front!

Stayed on the boat a couple nights at Charleston.  I fished for 3 days and plugged her every day.  I got tons of questions and compliments on the boat.  Every place I’ve been with the boat someone says it’s the best looking boat on the water. 
  I’m proud of it for sure.  Thanks Brian for offering such great plans at such a modest price.

GLAD you love your boat!  Did you get any fish?

Those look good... Did you make that yourself? I just got a rocket launcher spread made for my ph roof, it's about 2 inches too tall but... Trying to find a way to make it work. The guys who made it didn't really listen to what I wanted so I didn't get what I was really looking for but I think I can make it work. The DIY route fixes that problem :)

Yes I did make it.  Any time I have something built I always include plan, elevation, and isometric views.  It’s different for some one that has no formal training in drawing.
  I sketched this up for myself to build tank racks for my scuba/lobster blowout in October.

Very professional!  Are you a mechanical engineer by trade?

I’m a retired UA pipe fitter.  We fix what engineers draw up that can’t work!
