Re: rod storage
I don't think the flex is caused by deteriorated core material, when someone steps off the dock onto the gunnel it slightly tilts down, there are no apparent soft spots or problem area it apears that all my boats gunnel support comes from the connection where the cap meets the hull. I'm sure that if i removed the cap and replaced the core then reglassed it and added extra support/glass it would be stronger and probably would not flex but that seems like alot of work that I think (correct me please if I'm wrong) could be avoided by replacing the original or installing new brackets.

Re: rod storage
When I stripped out the transom and removed the livewell, I discovered about 56 holes in the transom. It originally had twins. Mickey Mouse owned it before me and left all the twin gages in the console when they converted to a single 225 Ocean Pro. I am picking one or two major projects a year to bring it back to georgeous. That way I still get to fish.

Re: rod storage
The Deck Flex was fixed by a friend with a 23CC by installing knees at the front rod storage location made from 3/4 starboard cut at a 45 angle. They are short enough that they are hidden by the deck cap. This is much easier than removing the deck cap and recoring, which is what I did. As long as you dont have soft spots and the balsa core is solid put in the knees and you will gain the stiffness
