Gotta Bite

Thanks for the replies. If you look in the picture on the side you will see the sag in the sides. Unfortunately I don't have a better picture of the wood rotted an drooping. But I also attached a pictue of the boat's interior before it got bad. I was looking to return it close to it's orginal state. I want to put a new wood backing under the upholstery. So a nice looking finish is not important. It's the rot factor. Just want to get some longevity out of this repair. I hope to have the boat for 5 to 10 more years before upgrading to another.

I ripped out the vinyl side panels on my boat prior to putting it into winter storage. The wood backing needs to be replaced. I am not sure what type of wood to use for this since it's etremely thin not like the floor. Should I use lewan and put seberal coats of sealant? The vinyl is in good condition so I would just reupholster it to the wood once I am done. Has any one done this and what did you do? I'd appreciate some advice on this. Thanks.

That's a nice set up for sure. Good luck with it.

I am also looking to add some noodle rods to my set up also. My salmons rods take the fun out of the fight when you hook into average size brown. Can't wait for the spring.
