Even trimming out the area with some 1 inch stock will add strength and beauty. Make a 4 sided frame with the top and bottom of the frame supported by the sides. Like one would do with the ruff opening of a door or a window.

Regarding taking your boat apart - I think Giu's neighbor is about the biggest expert around. So PM him for more info & a e-mail address.

Glad to help... better safe than sorry... and a stiffer boat is generally a good thing.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
