So I laid out my patches to grind off the gelcoat and grinded for about 1 hour. MEK all surfaces and then glued the gunwale supports on. The pictures kinda speak for themselves. You will see numerous tie-in points from the 4" screws thru the entire rail to the glassed "strap" on top of the gunwale supports also locking in the rail and the gunwale supports. I taped the gunwale supports in with 4 inch 1708 strips. in the next couple days i will completely encapsulate them with 1708. They were rock solid when they were only glued!!!! they were then bullet proof when they were taped, and now they will be bomb proof when I wrap them with the final layer.
