I am hoping SIL changes his mind, but it is his boat, given by my wife and I. He also owns a 17 Montauk and has owned that for decades. Happy Thanksgiving and thank you for providing all that is here for us owners.

There were about 100 rivets holding the cap to the hull. Most could be drilled out but about a dozen had to be cut from the top with a sawzall and metal cutting blade. The rubber extrusion that looks like 1/4 round actually goes under the lip and was adheared to the inside of the hull behind the trim pieces. Lots of gummy stuff to remove and a bunch of holes to fill and a very small amount of gelcoat repair. I think it makes sense to cover the mahogany lids with glass and gelcoat rather than fabricate new ones.
