Strick,

Thanks for your insight. I am designing the gunnel molds for my father's boat and will most likely begin fabrication this weekend. I just need to get my Super Sculpey shipment and will be ready to rock. My dad's boat had the clamshell pickup for his baitwell pointing to the stern to drain the livewell while underway. It had a stainless and rubber expansion plug to seal it. The front of the baitwell just had a straight through hull fitting and the same expansion plug set up in it. We just had to pull the plug and the baitwell would fill up like a whale spouting. The boat looks phenomenal! My father and I have learned alot of finishing work as well as the molding techniques from your build up and will implement them in our rebuild. Thanks once more for all the help and advice. GOD Bless, Greg
