    I had given my welder the below plans and some templates for the bow. He came over a couple times to measure and test fit the piece before final welding/assembly. If I used a "normal" shop I doubt they would have come over and taken the time that my guy did. So really happy with how they...

    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...
