Well, years ago i bought an 18 1/2 ft. 1929 Old Town Otca project. The previous owner had purchased replacement gunwales which i have finally gotten around to fitting up. Well, not quite, the replacement gunwales are too short by maybe 12".
Are there any structural strength considerations to be made, such as, should I scarf in an extension in the middle of the length? Or should I add the extension towards one end? Or do i need a one-piece gunwale?
Thanks, John H
