[QUOTE="Snaketibe, post: 519288, member: 7379"] Yes, although I love the new skiff, I don't think they're especially well made. The two side pieces / railings and the two end ones for that matter could be quite tricky to get in place on mine, so I can easily imagine if the moulding was just a little bit overlarge on one of the railings that you would have great difficulty inserting it properly. At the risk of stating the obvious, if you want it to fit, I recommend taking a very sharp knife (X-Acto / Stanley, etc.) and carefully trimming one side of whichever peg(s) are too tight. By shaving it incrementally, you should be able to get the thing to fit properly. As for the ramp / plank not extending on yours, I wouldn't stand for that! I would definitely break out my screwdriver and take the bottom of the skiff off to see if I could get it free. Both of mine do extend, but on one of them the plank does get more firmly wedged in, so again I could imagine a slightly tighter one becoming stuck. Best of luck if you do try either of those repairs. I know doing that sort of thing isn't everyone's cup of tea, but in my experience it's usually pretty simple when you take the plunge :-) [/QUOTE]
