[QUOTE="firstresponder01, post: 371704, member: 15492"] So the time to build a gunwale is getting closer and closer everyday and I still haven't decided what to do. I have no gunwale. It is strait metal edge. I was going to use wood on each side sandwiching it. Or doing a PVC edge. Are either of these strong enough to help structure of the boat? Or should I look into square tubing? Problem is I don't have the equipment to bend metal. Its a 1464 semi v. Going to be decking it and mounting a 20-25hp on the back. I've rebuilt the seats and the framing so all of that is solid and hold the walls up nicely without movong. I just don't want to do all this work, then have the boat fail because I didn't build the gunwales right or wrong. Thanks guys. [/QUOTE]
