I have a 2006 C-Dory 25' Cruiser. It has port and starboard coaming pockets. They measure approximately 10" x 34" outside, 7 3/4" x 32" inside and are 5" deep. I need a replacement (I won't tell you the sad story).
SSI, the manufacturer last made these in 2009. They have a 10" longer version, but because of the taper of the hull/cockpit space heading aft, I think they will be too deep at the aft end if I lengthen the existing cutout by 10". So I may get the new one, cut the middle 5" out of it, seal the seam and put the shortened pocket in the current cut out.
Alternatively, if I wanted 10 pockets of the original size, SSI would make them for $170 apiece. Is there enough interest out there that I should try to set this up? I would probably buy two just to have a replacement available.
