[QUOTE="LDUBS, post: 450774, member: 21536"] A lot of guys use a spacer made out of composite bender board or cutting board material to clear the gunnel. You might have to profile whatever you use for a spacer to obtain the right height. My gunnels were very similar to yours. Had those mounted using 3/4 phenolic. On my boat I set the height so they cleared the top of the gunnel by about 1/8". Edit: I wanted to add if you want the riggers to set level, you will have to mill a spacer to allow for the angel of your hull. If you don't have one, enlist the aid of a buddy with a table saw, measure the angle, and away you go. Your boat is really coming along. [/QUOTE]
