Gary and Bones... That does sound like a neat idea. I have green dridek on my M15 cockpit floor that matches my green sheer stripe, but a teak or ipe frame would class it up and be very functional, also hiding the crummy job I did cutting the shape. And yes John Owens does great work (he built me a rudder foil and repaired my old one) By the way Gary, on my way up to Spokane for work this evening, staying in the Valley thru friday. Email me if you want to grab some grub and brew one evening.

I'm thinking of doing that for my M17 cockpit. Also, John Owens, http://www.jowoodworks.com/ can make teak grates for cockpits.

Hi Theo, My M23 has a teak frame around the Dri-Dek. Works great. Buddy Bones ____________________________________________________________ 53 Year Old Mom Looks 33 The Stunning Results of Her Wrinkle Trick Has Botox Doctors Worried http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL3141/4f82532126cd71e47a7st02vuc
