[QUOTE="onthewater102, post: 418327, member: 13702"] Looks like the tent poles were a home run - thank you dad!! I still need to add the snaps to the cover and the hull but I'm really liking what I'm seeing in the pole bows. They took a while to trim to size, I only cut the poles that met the gunwales, taking half the overage from each to keep them even and leave the longest poles to do the flexing. I need to order a fifth for the very front (currently there is a road cone under there on the front bench port side) but the areas supported by the bows are nice and taught with a near vertical drop along the gunwales so pooling should not be an issue. I will need to either make a strap to mount to the bow and transom with loops for the poles or sew loops into the underside of the cover to keep the poles from shifting forwards and backwards, the material I had wasn't long enough. They certainly fold up and will fit in my yet-to-be finished side compartment with the cover so I will be able to moor this behind the house.
