Thread subject: Whaler Central - Boston Whaler Boat Information and Photos :: Needed: "Z" leg dimensions and photos

For my 18 Outrage scale model project, I'd like to improve my representation of the Z-legs. There are some photos in the parts section, but I can't download them and of course, there's no dimensions. All I really need is a height and I can go from there and proportion the rest accordingly.

Gamalot is showing the older style.

The newer style has 2 small notches for the Pivot Rods.

It's the only pair I have! LOL

My pivot brackets get attached between wood pieces under the seat with a plastic sheet to keep them in place.

Yes, i have had both styles.

Wanted to make sure everyone knew the difference between the older and newer versions.

Always good to have photos of all the different styles.

I think there is also an after market type being made today. Are you saving photos like these somewhere for future reference?

I think there is an article here or somewhere about refinishing the Z legs to get the chalkiness off of them but I can't remember where I saw it.
