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.

You can see in these pics how I made the gunwale supports rock solid. Not only did I glue and screw them but I also glassed a strip on them inside and outside and kinda "tied" them together before I glassed them on the boat.

heres how the bottom side of the rail has shaped up. I glassed one layer of 1708 to the band tying it into the hull I then at the point of contact to hull made a "fillet" or radius with thickened resin and chopped glass mixture. Just remember another layer of 1708 will rap that rail when I glass my cap to the hull. No chance of water intrusion under that rail!!!

I didnt get to the cap today. I concentrated on finishing up glassing the inner rail to the hull and encasulating some of the gunwale supports. As seen in the pics the bottom of the rail was filleted and the the cloth glassed down the liner about 1" 1/2.

Here's some pics of the boat getting the floor plan fine tuned so I can take some measurements and references to cut holes in my floor for my utility/acess hatches. And also a couple pictures of my 2 beautiful ladies!!!!!
