Hello all,

I found a Sonerai one that has simple wood stringers and A-frame from wood as well to make up the turtle deck shape. According the to plans the guy has it is correct.

I haven't seen this before and wondered if there was any information about it. Obviously I'm curious since I hadn't seen it that way.

On the subjects of turtle decks, didn't Scott originally make a fiberglass section for his and then abandon it? Just curious why it didn't work out.
