G. I turned the tail on my SS to a smaller dia. to hopefully allow for the no tail hook. We'll see.
As far as my Musso daters go I intend to soak them today for half hour periods and weigh them, if too light back in they go till I get the weight I want, that is with the spar sealer. I intend to do a couple in epoxy heat seal too just to fine out what happens.
