Anyone thought about or actually installed gunnel padding?
« on: January 30, 2006, 03:33:21 PM »
For you 22 or bigger guys and gals, anyone have any input on this?  I am going to have to either pad my upper legs (like wear a cricket goalkeepers kit?) or put in some gunnel padding of some kind.  I might try to cook up something modular that could be removed, but I wondered if anyone had any experience.

I have thought about it much.  A day of fishing with our crazy chop and my old knees are beat up.  My friend had some made for his Grady for about $100 each.  I would guess they are about 6 feet long each.

Do you know how the cushions are mounted on the Grady?  I wonder if I could put some snap fasteners onto the cap?  Thanks.

Yep.  I'm too old to remember all those terms.

I think on the Grady one can reach around behind the bolsters but I'm not sure.  I'll look when I get a chance.  His boat is in my yard but it has a really heavy full cover on it and it's a pain to get in there.  He has it tied down like I would for hurricane prep.

Steve,
The Grady-White has access to the backside of the bolsters.
