Thank you for that information.  I do have the original books with the diagrams, etc.

Project update- for the port side- I used an oscillation tool to cut out a rectangle from the underside of the gunnel, found plenty of I rotten balsa core.  I replaced that, epoxied it in place and glassed over it all. I redrilled the holes and this time I painted the large hole with epoxy and drilled and filled the bolt holes with epoxy and then redrilled them. It came out great.  I inspected the starboard side rod holder and it appears to already have been fixed by this method.

radical! i'm happy this website seems to be coming to life.  I do a lot of DIY maintenance and projects, and this type of info sharing is invaluable.  Post some pics if you can, to show everyone what you are talking about, and how you fixed. Good luck this season.
