2001 CRESTLINER 1750 SPORT FISH REMOVING INNER SIDE GUNNEL PANELS

[TROY MALECKI]

I need to remove the two inner plywood/vinyl covered panels to gain access to a area i cannot reach. Does anyone know how to remove these panels. These panels run from the full windshield to the back of the boat on the drivers and passenger sides. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

They have to be screwed on somewhere. I had screws holding the pannels in place about every foot and a half. The screw heads were covered by a colored button. I had to pry the buttons off with a screw driver, and then was able to unscrew them. If you don't see any of these buttons, try prying off the pannels themselves, between the back of the pannel, and the gunwale. Or mabey they're screwed from the back side.
