I wish it was easy for me ..mine came out horrible even trying to use two pieces..mine ended up with 3-4 pieces lining the inside lol..but they are too loose anyways so I'm going to pull it out and add foam/turf again to them..

Wow @pabloescobar. That turned out amazing!
So where exactly are your seems then? In the last picture, does the top piece of turf partially go into the rear of the hold? I can't tell. It'd be awesome if you could take a pic of inside of the hold near the rear so you can see.

Rosie,

I wrap the top piece around the rear of the foothold and tuck it to the back corner.

Sanoman is a better guy to ask on this technique as he's done it more times than me, but that's how I did it.

All in the bevel.Everything lays down so much better

So @pabloescobar
You actually used 3 pieces of turf on the side then? 1 on the gunwales and 2 in the footholds?

Yes

@Sanoman , is that what you do as well? It'd be awesome if you could get a pic like pablos..

You need adjustable holds so you can turf the holds while sitting on the couch watching TV!

Some awesome turf jobs here. What are you guys using to make patterns?

l like using poster board (l get it for free) and also fabric stores keep pattern material.A little tough to work with but goes around curves decently.

Well Hell ..... Lets jack it

I made a full or extra full length plate by grafting a cut piece (special thanks to horn dog) to my existing cut plate. If I could have bought one I would not have bothered. I plan on modifying the plate by taking most of the strake out of it .... might loosen it up a little bit for surf. Fun little boat to bad folks are having trouble getting them.
