Quest for Flounder......

Pretty close. In essence, to make a copy. It's actually an old word. IBM "borrowed" it in the 60's (maybe 70's) and created a program called Data Interfile Transfer, Testing and Operations Utility. Maybe showing my age but back in the ol' mainframe days we used Ditto to make copies of tape and disk files.

Hmmm... I'm gonna guess it has to do with the early photocopiers. When I was in elementary school, the teachers referred to our handouts as "dittos". I can't remember what "ditto" is short for, though.

LOL! i remember that! "I didn't get a ditto Ms Holiday." ah, good times

What did you guys use to glue inside your hull?

[surfdog]

i stay away from permanent glues like marine goop and use 100% clear silicone so if i want to change something its not hard to remove and if it comes loose i can re attach easily

Thanks. I've been thinking about doing something for awhile. I have a rod pod and I don't want to limit being able to stick rods in. I may go with pool noodles parallel to the boat and slice them to hold rods. Should keep larger items from sliding and provide some cushion for the rods to keep them from sliding around in the surf.
