Hi all; first post, so please be gentle with me! My brother in law has a 
Seahog Hunter which is kept in Southern Ireland. We only get to go there 
once a year, and before we go again in July we need to get a few things 
sorted out.

Firstly, last year we lost a fender whilst the boat was moored at the 
pier, and consequently the rubbing strip wore away and we ended up with 
a nice little chamfered hole along the gunwhale, at the boats widest 
point across the beam. The hole is about 18inches long, and about 3/4" 
wide. Basically the top an bottom have become separated from each other.

We need to fibreglass the gap, and presumably clamp the top and bottom 
half together, and maybe bolt through them to hold them rigid. Can 
anyone advise the best way of doing this, bearing in mind that we are 
miles away from civilisation, and diy or hardware stores are very few 
and far between! Anything we will need we will have to take with us.

We will also need to replace the rubber trim. I've had a look at the 
Poolside Mouldings website, and their price is £3.53 inc VAT per foot. 
Is there any better place to get it, and would we be able to fit a 
thicker gauge strip as long as it fits the flange?
Any help greatly appreciated,
Regards,
John
