Jim:
Don't laugh, but I've not only thought about this in the past, but ECPA member
Brett Coleman and I actually sketched up a design and played around with it back
in 1995. I have toyed with the idea of revisiting this, as it would lend more
stability and give an impressive amount of extra deck room (at least the way we
did it, with removable tramponlines and whatnot).
