[QUOTE="cliff58, post: 384417, member: 16386"] Yes, perhaps there is. If you flatten a convex piece, it becomes wider. Since you won't want to widen the hull, you would have to narrow the newly flattened deck down to the size of the hull. Just mashing it down flat will leave it buckled somewhere or bend the hull outward no matter how hard you try to avoid it. And then so much for restoring the boat to original condition later if you want to. :shock: I suppose you could make curved braces to go underneath and then use spacers on the TM mount to keep it up off the curve of the deck. But you still end up with holes in the OEM deck then. Cutting a new flat piece from the material of your choice is the way to go, IMHO :) [/QUOTE]
