    Thanks all, I just put in my order with them for 36 ft of Wefco rub rail 0101G. I measured 34, but always good to have some wiggle room. On another note, had a three day weekend so got to work quite a bit on the boat. As always, it takes a lot longer then what was planned to do somethings...

    Part 2 cont... Installed the gunwales with temporary screws to shape the boat. The brought out the trim and matched up the holes where the original 3/16th rivets went through and used those holes. That way I wouldn't be having to drill out rivets I accidentally put in them when installing the...

    Starting to look at rub rails and think I found one that will fit... But not sure. Anyone have experience with replacing the rub rails on a SS16? From my measurements Taco V12-4144 might work, but didn't know if anyone else had experience with it or had other suggestions. The opening on the...

    Well after ya'lls comments on the mounts, I decided that was the best way to go. I created some and added them along the gunwales (5 in total). 5200 and solid rivets through them to keep them in place

    Howdy All, Been awhile since I posted anything. Been a busy last couple of months. Got the splashwell from my welder and dry fitted into the boat. Took a couple times for my welder and I to get it to fit right. Didn't account for some slant in the floor or the transom. Nothing is ever...

    Still working slowly but surely. This is a combination of two weekends to cut everything out and dry fit. Did a lot of measuring and remeasuring to get everything as close as possible. Made a template out of cardboard for the front of the consoles. I was happy with how they came out. I...

    BWR1953 Mine is similar; however, I don't remember it running the full length of the gunwales. It stopped at the console and then continued again on the other side. I don't know if this was a previous mod by original owner during a restore or if factory. I will have to go back and look at...

    Thanks guys, following the recommendation and spent time making the joiners. Also, made a change to the seating arrangements. Decided to use one of the joiners as a seat pedestal near the aft. So we will seat 3 in the back vs the 4 originally planned. Will also be used as an adjustable...

    Got some work done over the last couple days. After a lot of debating with myself, I decided not to go with the self contained ratchets that others have used. I really liked the idea of having them, but couldn't figure out a good way to properly mount them on this trailer. My next build will...

    Other plans got postponed so got to do some work this weekend. Installed all the bolts (except one). Squirted 5200 into the hole before liberally adding it to each screw to make sure I got it all over the interior of the transom to protect it. I would not want to be the person that tries...
