I am sure you have got to be really excited to have her buttoned up and getting it ready for finishes. Regarding the gunnel supports, are you planning to use them to hang rod holders? I know it would be a bunch of extra work at this point but if you are not, something to consider is tapering them from the face of gunnel to "zero" so they also don't become a toe buster. Just a thought.

Seems like I couldn't get a drill low enough, i.e. I should of thought of this before deck installation. Any input would be appreciated.

I had something similar and even though its not much water at all it would always get moldy in those corners from just a little standing water.
OR build up a wedge on the deck / front side to route the water around the support. But I kept mine outside without a cover, every leaf in the neighborhood found its way into my boat. 95

A little more white paint today. Cleaned up the outboard midsection last night. Sprayed both today. Getting the hang of it a little better today. Happy with the results. Tomorrow I mask of a section on top of the bracket to add non skid as well as continuing to renew outboard pieces to hopefully finish up all the white paint work. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 97
