If there is any offshore fishing happening on the boat coaming pads are like heaven! The most uncomfortable boat I have ever fished was a 25' Pro Sport, not only were there no pads but but the liner angle was so severe that when you hooked a big fish it felt like it was going to pull you overboard. The knees can only take so much.

Yea I'm doing my own pads, actually my buddy with Petty Marine is doing them. I'm running LEDS lights and other stuff under my cap so open cap is out of the question. A Carling in marine terms is the horizontal structual band that wraps the inboard side of the cap. The coaming is non structual horizontal "trim band". I had to look it up in a boat building dictionary so don't let seem like I'm some proffesional!!!!! Lol!! Jason wish you lived closer!! Because we would be wacking and jacking on that boat already

Good to know! Most of the pads I have seen were in the 5-6" range.

I found some pads on eBay that were a perfect fit for the V21. They say "Palm Beach" on em but I could not care less. Think I paid $53 total including shipping for the pair brand new. They are between 4 & 5 inches. Consider where the pads will be placed and find pads that fit or if you build them then obviously custom fit them.

Closer and closer every weekend Kracker.

Stopped by a shop and got a quote on the fabric to build my own coaming pads. $35 per yard which is 36''x54''. Does that sound right?

What kind of material did you get a price on?
