Hey spareparts,

My port rod box had some serious problems. (Major surgery) I am taking pics of the repair as I go along. Essentially I am reinforcing the boxes from the back with 4 oz fiberglass tape and epoxy resin. I am also backing up the 4 mounting points in the boxes (that were stripped) with oak blocks that have 8-32 brass inserts to make remounting the boxes easier. Some of the trim mounting screw plastic backing is stripped and I am epoxying an oak strip to thread into. Some of the above is theoretical and may change as I go along. I want to go fishin' so I might not complete until fall. But on second thought maybe I'll finish it so I can carry 4 more rods!!

Hammer, - I live in Doylestown PA but I have a house in Cape May County NJ. Thats where the V will be located on June 2. (hopefully) Wife and I have interest in Delaware as a retirement location due to the tax situation in NJ. We intend to be there June 2 and use Sunday to look at possible Delaware retirement homes. If we do that it looks like we will be coming to Lewes via ferry, not in the V.
