So got a chance to cut the other gunnel & fit it. Cut some more foam for both sides. Now all I need now is the epoxy I have coming. Meanwhile I went ahead worked on my rub rails. Did the best I could polish them and look good enough so I installed them.

Will order some end caps & inserts for it soon. Mean while i have come up with a neat Idea that I hope doesnt get abolished from my shortsight. I realised that I have pockets of space here ...

space for hooks, weights & maybe even live bait. Of course there will be a lid. I just have to figure how to attach the exhaust vents. I dont think that will be a problem. Will use cardboard for the molding of these bins. Now keep in mind they are removable bins so tht should help with any acces to the engine.

Been dealing with some life issues that have been resolved and im very happy. So now I can concetrate back to my tin again. Had ordered some vinyl to finish my gunnels. SO here they are.

I wished i could of gotten the quilting horizontal instead of vertical. But I have not found any that way yet. But im happy with the way it looks. Still working on the trays with epoxy. But there is a lot trial and error involved. As soon im done with them I will post.
