THANKS FOR THE TIP, I SEE YOUR ROD BOXES ARE A LOT SMALLER THAN MINE, I NEED AT LEAST ONE 67" LONG.

ANYBODY KNOWS HOW TO GET DECALS, AT LEAST THE ONE THAT SAYS V-20?

MY BOAT LOOKS MORE LIKE A V-21.

I REPLACED ALL THE TEAK TRIMMING WITH STARBOAR. TEAK IS BEAUTIFULL BUT THE SUN IN FLORIDA IS BRUTAL.
 
All there is to it:

THANKS FOR YOUR REPLY, MINE ARE EXACTLY LIKE YOURS, HOWEVER I THINK THEY ARE BEYOND REPAIR SINCE THEY HAVE A LOT OF TRIMMING MISSING AND THE BOTTOM HAS BIG HOLES. THE SUN IN FLORIDA IS BRUTAL
PLUS MY KIDS EVERY TIME THE CLIMB ON THE BOAT USE THEM AS A STEP. GO FIGURE!!!!

IF I DONT FIND ONE ALREADY MADE BIGGER THAN 67" I'LL GO TO THESE PEOPLE AND HAVE THEM CUSTOM MADE.

CHEAPER THAT A NEW BOAT!!!!
 
Wiseguy, What resin did you use? Epoxy or Poly? Did you color the resin? What weight cloth? I have about 1/2 gallon of epoxy resin left from another boat project, so I will probably use it on my rod boxes. Epoxy resin has a really long shelf life, about 10 years if stored properly.
 
The resin is epoxy (west marine 105 and 106 hardener). Don't know about the cloth. You may as well reinforce the corners and such while your in the mood and have your goop mixed up.

The good side was filled/leveled with marinetex, sanded, and painted with topside paint (interlux brightside - white)
 
I repaired my boxes as well. They had the typical cracks and bastardized edges, they came out nice.Used the same paint as Wiseguy but I added a black pigment to get a light gray color to "sorta" match the gray deck.
 
mine are busted up too going to do the same. i have several corners missing so i'm just going to rebuild out of glass and shape back to original. Lester you could just glass your holes smaller to use FP's rod boxes. It would be much cheaper to glass the holes smaller and replace.
 
I also ripped 1" thick pieces of pressure treated lumber, cut them to length, and installed them behind the gunnel walls. The screws go through the teak trim, through the flange of the rod box, through the gunnel wall and into the press. treated. What was formerly flimsey is now quite strong ;)
 
I WAS LOOKING LAST NIGTH IN THE GALLERY, THERE IS A GUY (OR BOAT) NAMED "PIPE DREAM" THAT HIS ROD BOXES WERE A LOT WORSE THAN MINE AND IN THE FINISHED BOAT THEY LOOKED AWESOME. I DON'T KNOW WETHER HE REPLACED THEM OR REBUILT THEM.
IF HE READ THIS, COULD HE LET ME KNOW?

And its safe to talk with him now that he got rid of that hypnotizing avitar. Before, if you were on meds like I was on whole afternoons would go by unexplained ;D
 
feeling . . . dizzy . . . must . . . gain . . . control . . .


heh heh, thanks guys. ::)

Lesterus, check your messages.

Wiseguy, nice job.
 
SORRY FOR NOT REPLYING,, I WAS OUT OF TOWN,THE PROBLEM IS MINES HAVE A LOT OF PIECES MISSING, SPECIALLY THE FLANGES AND , BESIDES THE FACT THAT I HAVE 2 LEFT HANDS, I HAVE 2 SMALL CHILDREN THAT TAKE A LOT OF MY TIME.
 
HEY GUYS!!!!
KEN, FPMARINE.COM CALLED ME THAT HE FOUND SOME
THAT WERE 68" X 18 1/2"X 5" (3 3/4" AT THE BOTTOM)
FOR ABOUT $120.00 EA.

I KNOW THAT 68" WILL COVER THE WHOLE LENGTH, I'VE GOT TO CHECK THE WIDTH THOUG CONSIDERING ABOUT 1" FLANGE THAT WOULD LEAVE ME 16 1/2"
I THINK I CAN FIT THEM.

IF I ORDER MINES KEN SAID HE WOULD ORDER SOME MORE SETS. ANYBODY INTERESTED?

LESTERUS
 
FOR ANYBODY INTERESTED IN THE SUBJECT, I JUST RECEIVED THE ROD BOXES FROM FP MARINE, THE CUT OUT DIMENSIONS ARE: 66 1/2" X 16 1/2" X 5"
THE FLANGE DIMENSIONS ARE: 67 1/2 X 18 1/2"

I HAVE NOT INSTALLED THEM YET, I'LL POST PICKS.
