[QUOTE="thill, post: 377518, member: 4972"] "C" is the way I usually do it. Nice illustrations! Fabricate the two pieces of wood into one before putting in the boat. Remove the screws from one side, and put down the piece with the batten first. Then the other will drop right down on it, and the screws will go right back into the same holes. Done and strong I usually use 3/4 plywood as the batten, as that doesn't tend to split as much as dimensional lumber. One note, for what it's worth- If you use flat-head screws, they tend to pull down and vanish in carpet. Just be careful not to drive them too deeply. Great boat to start with! -TH [/QUOTE]
