I recomend that you try to fix them. If you remove them, sand out the cracks, tape wax paper on the sides, fill holes and cracks with glass, let dry, sand and paint, you are left with beautiful original gunnel holders. Save the teak too. A little care and nothing will look better. here is a pick of the holders I redid. Looked impossible to fix - totally cracked- peices missing- 30$ worth of supplies and I was glad I didnt cut my boat up to put some in that dont look like they came with the boat

Sweetseason is the rest of your V as much of a j e w e l as your rod boxes? They look sweet!

My v didn’t come with any just holes where they used to be an owner before me must have tossed them. Mine are the type like the ones in the pictures with the angle in the front and rear. i took some measurements and squared off the angles and i would need a box with an inside dimension of 72 to 73" none of the box makers i have found have a box with this dimension. i have found 68" and then it goes to 88" 88 is way to be for any of the polls i have. Any suggestions? Thanks ~JOHN~

yea you should have never cut them till you had the new ones!!

But now that you have i guess i would get what fits the closest and add starboard to the ends to fill the void.

Hello,

i havent cut them yet, i just think the odds of finding orginals are slim to none my cutouts still have the angles and are the factory cuts im sure, i will try to post some pics tonight. Thanks ~JOHN~

I got mine at flounder pounder marine, but I had to fill in about 2" on each side.
