[Public-List] Spray Dodger questions

[Andrew Johns]

We recently copied an existing  dodger. I cut the old one apart and used it
as a template for the new one.   It took about 20 hours to complete and
about 250 in materials (window material are expensive).

Take a look at some of the sailrite youtube videos to get an idea what is
involved.
