    I have an older 19' flat bottom skiff. It has the old-school gunnels that do not have washboards and that are flimsy. The gunnels round off at the top. Does anyone have suggestions to knock out both of these problems inexpensively?

    Thanks

    Could you better describe what you mean by washboards?

    It is the wide part at the top of the gunnels. The gunnels on it are not wide at the top. I will post pictures soon. Thanks

    how about a "row" boat but instead of oars, like Hobie-Drive fins but at gunnels?
