17' 9" Freedom Strong Back and Strip Length?

Post by Paddle on the Crow »

Hello,
How long should the top of the strong back be for a 17' 9" Freedom?
Also, How long is the longest strip?

Thanks!

Hi POTC,

My strong back is 17' long. It is of the plywood variety, and it worked quite well.
With regards to strip length, the longest strip is about 18'6". Maybe even a bit less.

Good luck on the project!

Cheers!
