I have my MC 16.5 seet up to take either the Piantedosi rowing rig for rowing or the standard slat seats for double paddling.&nbsp; I primarily use the boat for rowing so the row rig is the most important.

When I built my MC 16.5 in 1997, I could not find any locating dimensions for the rowing rig mounting blocks.&nbsp; I took my best shot, but ended up with them 6" aft of where they are located per the last picture in the construction gallery.&nbsp; I plan to relocate them in order to keep the bow in the water on the recovery.&nbsp; I note that the above mentioned picture shows the slat seat cleats outboard of the rowing rig blocks.&nbsp; This however does not work as there is not enough vertical clearance to set the slat seats above the blocks.&nbsp; In my original installation, I modified the cleats to elevate the slat seats 3/4" to clear.&nbsp; Has anyone else dealt with this interference and, if so, what did you do?
