Suggestion: Instead of attaching the aka cheek block with the self-tapping screws, screw it to a 1" wide piece of 3/4" ply and lash it to the aka where you think it belongs. I used a couple of 1" strips of rubber cut from an automobile inner tube.
The Reason: You may find you prefer it more inboard or outboard than you initially thought and now the cheek block can be moved.
Bottom Line: you don't want a permanent installation of that rear aka cheek block until you are sure you have the snuffer bag where you want it.
Great idea, I thought of this, We use our Tramps all the time for hiking out to balance the boat, So the position to mount the cheek block was based on that, I suspect I could just get another If I need to relocate, The complete boat weighs in at just over 200 pounds(when new, no mods), center hull I suspect is about 120 lbs, less fish finder, accessories, battery,bilge pump, safety gear and lights I leave in the hull, and there's always some water to drain out after loading,
Trailer hasn't been in the cards for us, (homeowners association) No room to store it in the garage, The Ti is suspended upside down Above the car in the garage using harken pulley system
