Re the gunnel ,Since I photo everything I'd be suprised if I don't (i'll check at the shop) I "dug it out (it was burned completly thru to the reinforcing plywood) the heat had melted all the resin away and all the was left was fuzzy shredded glass fibers. I  reinforced it and with  a "kitty" hair product then finished it with bondo and primer and a "close" rattle can yellow  Tom
