Gunnel rod holder repair ideas ?

Johnsonboat, The mold is the easiest part of the job , you just build a box. Checkout the thread " Once again i must ask the v20 gods" In general
 
wellcraftvstep, thats great info. This site is really helpful. I wish I would have thought of doing a mold from the begining but at this point after already buying way too much interlux products to paint the boxes i can't afford to revert to gelcoat. I'm learning the hard way I guess. And most important, want to get this boat done before spring striper run.
 
Johnsonboat, i'd bet you can sell the left over paint to someone on this board , if i were closer i would buy it in a minute for my rod boxes. How much was it i will need some next week
 
I think I have a set of rod boxes out of a 79' Cuddy in my parents garage. I don't remember what kind of shape their in. Let me know if anyone is interested and I'll check.
 
Hope I'm not hijacking this thread. So tell me if I am, I'm new to posting on boards.
Stepv, I have Interlux briteside off white and prekote primer as well as epoxy primekote primer. Really dont need to get rid of it but if you need some you are welcome to get it west marine has it if not. What a p.i.a. Finding out after getting prekote, that it won't cure ouer the epoxy corners. Guess I should have consulted with the v20 pros.
 
Plastic gunnel panels on my 96' V21 - 16 years old.

Removed both, patched the couple of spots with epoxy two part hardener, sanded, painted, re installed. Looks fine, and pleased to see - dry behind both panels.

They're plastic. I reinforced mine with fiberglass and painted it with Krylon spray paint made for plastics.

Great job bro! Mine are shot. Going to reinforce mine with fiberglass and reinstall with treated wood inserts for support.

The original wood is shot so im gonna custom make some out of cedar to give it an extra flare! :) Will port pics before during and after. Going to be a wile tho, :( , were working long hours.
 
I have bookmarked this thread! :beer: Great info fellas!
My '94 V21 inserts are cracked in a few spots and looking rough. Thanks to this thread I know exactly how to fix them up new, :sly:
 
I had the same issue on mine. The interior corners were weak and brittle or had holes and 3 of the exterior edges were completely broken off and gone. I used fiberglass, and redid every single interior corner, and built up new edges for each one. They are all currently sanded down and waiting for me to paint them. I will be doing that this weekend and will throw some pics on once I reinstall them. They look reaaaaal nice now though. And super strong in every corner.
