gunnel trim, 18 foot cc

getting ready to put trim around my gunnels. the stuff im getting milled looks like half round with the bottom half cut out. it went around the inside of the gunnel, im wondering how to die it out. anyone know how they looked original? when i got the boat the trim (old and shot) ran along the side and died up flush with the top of the gunnel; like a giant U. if any of you could get a picture up of your original trim i could copy id really appreciate it. or if ive got the right idea just let me know. i got extra milled since it was surprisingly cheap(w/ the price of teak these days). thanks

Here is a shot of my old 1989 gunnel trim-set back pretty far

22- I have an 18 (1987 CSY)and it had the same trim that snookered has. I re-did mine with santos mohogany trim and it came out great. I will try to send some pics. I still need to do my anchor locker frame and console frame. I have a friend that builds cabinets to help me with the milling.

ran trim thurs evening; came out gorgeous. if only all boat modifications'repairs were as easy as that!! so simple and yet it dresses the boat up so much. didnt even break out the chop saw.

I could use some gunnel trim myself, could you post a couple pics of what you had done.
