I scraped and glued and sanded on mine for a full weekend to get them looking decent...... that said, I doubt the glue will stay together, never does.

If your not in a big hurry (2-3 weeks) I will take them. I need to get out of this monster house I am working in now though.

JUST WHEN i THOUGHT i WAS DONE SPENDING MONEY ON THIS BOAT FOR THE YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A couple of pics showing how it's constructed. (Dove-tail Joints) just like the originals.

My door has cracked thru at the bottom of the dovetails on both sides at top and bottom. I glued the cracked pieces with epoxy, but also installed a couple of 3.5" SS screws at 4 locations from the sides and covered with teak plugs. Seems to be holding up ok so far.

I agree, thats a good idea. I also use SST screws (see below) and plugs in addition to the Dove-tail joints on my "new doors" to keep everything firmed up. It also reduces the chance of the dovetails starting to crack and open up in the future. Once they start splitting is hard to stop them....
