Question on Hiking Strap

Should be an easy quesiton for some of you. I am considering adding a hiking strap to a 78 fish and want to know if the lip by the cubby is solid or hollow where you would drill the holes for the rear attachment. I have just spent considerable time getting my boat water tight and I do not want to drill the holes if it is going to be hollow at the lip. I am good on the front attachment as I can get my arm inside the topside port hole and secure correctly.

Feedback from someone who has already tried this would be great.

Thanks:eek::eek:
 
Click on Sunfish KB and FAQ up above, then click the FAQ link under general discussion and you will find a link for installing the strap. This link hopefully will take you right there: http://www.sunfishforum.com/content.php?pg=faq

Anyway, the lip is hollow, but that is where the eyestraps go. Lots of silicone or 5200 and you will have a waterproof setup. Its been done this way by many, many, many sailors since hiking straps were legalized in 1985 or 1986. BB
