    Send it down to Burtons, they're in Ulladulla. Failing that have a chat to the boys down at the surf club.

    This is a woodwork forum, so glad that the boat has some wood in it!

    Is the inside of the boat accessible in that area?

    Very snippy Glenn - it was a joke. Looked like I was trying to help with the question in the same post ... right?

    You are very rude in this situation.

    Repeat ... is the inside of the boat in that area accessible? Can you get at it or is it inaccessible.
