I think the gap between the inner moulding and the hull is going to vary depending on where you measure.
Is it voids between both that contain water that is the issue?
Should it contain foam?

Re: Bunk cushion thickness and foam type
Hi Rob,
I think I will go for a good firm 3" foam.
Thanks,
Tom

Bunk cushion thickness and foam type
Hi,
What is the best thickness and type of foam for the bunks? I am thinking of 4" or 3". Given the limited head room when sitting down, which is best and which is normally used?

Mariner or Tohatsu 4, 5 or 6hp
Hi I am considering buying an outboard for my Swift. I understand that the 4 stroke Mariner and Tohatsu are more or less the same. Does anyone know if they fit in the well? Also the 4,5 and 6 are the same size and weight. Any thoughts on which hosepower is most suited to the Swift. Obviously 6 beats...

Stanchion Bases
Hi,
I am looking for 4 stanchion bases for a Swift 18. It looks as if the originals were attached to the toe rails by two screws/bolts. Has anyone any info as to the manufacturer or where I could find them?

Masthead Fitting
Hi,
I am restoring a Swift 18. The masthead fitting is missing. Does anyone have any pictures of what it looks like? Can the part be bought or will I need to have one fabricated? There are no Swifts close to me that I can examine.
