Has anyone ever replaced the legs for the original table? The previous owner for my hull 395 had some wonky PVC shimmed with duct tape (real, real wonky). Any suggestions on size, material, and length for replacements?

Yes. Originals were corroded at the bottom. Ordered aluminum tubing from Speedy Metals, cut and drilled using the old ones as patterns.

I don't have the original legs. Any suggestion on size and length? I am wondering about how tight the fit was in the top or bottom holes? And were they the same diameter on top and bottom, etc?

The legs for my table were made by the previous owner. There’s a carbon tube from a wind surfer mast. It’s 27 3/4 long 2 in od. Into one end is a piece of Al tube 4 in showing and 12 in total so 8 in is jammed into the carbon tube. Al tube is 1 3/4 in od. Overall length is 31 3/4 in. The Al end goes into a tube that’s fiberglassed into the bilge. Dan #409
