[StartQuote] Hello everyone I hope I am not hijacking this thread. I've been following this forum for quite a while and finally registered yesterday. I have a 38 inch fiberglass hulled PT 109 made by Fibo Craft (long out of business) that I purchased over 35 years ago. I have built model planes in years past but nothing like this kit. I am finally going to make time to do the build. Being my first build I am a bit overwhelmed reading the plans. My sticking point right now is the crown of the deck. I have the deck frame in the hull but the kit plans are not clear for the crown of the deck. I have books by T. Garth Connelly, David Doyle and plans by Al Ross. I have enlarged the plans to reflect a 40 inch boat since components for that size are more readily available. With the enlarged plans it looks like there is a 3/16 (4 1/2 inch in real life) crown at the stern in the Al Ross plans. I am not sure if this dimension is carried the full length due to my plan reading (or lack thereof) skills. In the side view of the plans it appears that a crown is shown the full length but again, I am not sure. Would you please give me some guidance on this topic? Thank you Ed [EndQuote]
