If you ever want to complicate something call me, your thing that the tie wraps go thru sure are the way to go. The V berth is where I already have a net that goes down one complete side. The smaller ones I've never seen and they just rock, after 3 years I've just finished my boat for distant traveling on the east coast. I think everyone has heard our boats called Swiss Knives but I came up with what I think is a new one. I call my 16 cruiser a "Back Pack with a 50 hp". I had a mechinal accident last month, I was out in the boat positioning small containers on the pilot house walls, I left one of my dock lines tied to the rear cleat and let it sit in the splash well. All I did was idyl around and move the containers to get inspired, well the dock line blew out and wrapped around the prop. On idyl speed it managed to destroy the lower unit on my outboard. The new unit came in and we installed it and then went on to load my stainless prop as well but it wouldn't fit the core was too shallow for some reason. Well I had an aluminum spare so we loaded that and it was perfect, not only perfect but I gained 2K rpm. My engine now runs at the edge of red line and sounds great and I gained 4 mph. It was a poor assumption the previous owner had accurately selected the correct pitch angel on his stainless prop it was so shinny when it came back after having it recored when I spun it out last year on my 800 mile Savannah break in trip.
Its rare and cool when a failure has a Silver Lining, again thank you both for helping me find just one more item to improve my little cruiser.
