[QUOTE="GO_DAWGS_73, post: 173435, member: 4348"] I am not totally opposed to putting them back on but, trust me, they had to come off to really get the inside of this thing cleaned. When we finally got it all off we found a wasps nest buried up near the front of the of bow and the wood framing holding the front bow cap up was all rotted out. There was no way to get the wood out without removing it all because of the way it was put together. Like I said in an earlier post, it was a lot worse than it looked in the pics so I had no choice but to take it all off and start from scratch. I cleaned some of it up a couple of weeks ago and may include it in the final build. I finally got the point across to my Dad that a wood gunnel on the inside would look kind of silly since I am keeping the rubber bumper strip on the outside. Dunno why but I really liked the rubber bumper. Anyway, thanks for the feedback. This is my first boat build ever so I really am trying to do it right. [/QUOTE]
