Author	Topic:   Newport gunwale and bow cap
Necka	posted 08-29-2014 12:13 PM ET (US)         Does anyone have any pictures of a Newport with the cap removed?
Necka	posted 08-31-2014 09:00 AM ET (US)             I'm looking at a Newport that needs work and am considering converting it to a newtauk before I do that I was hoping someone had a few pictures of what it looks like under the cap.There are a few threads on newtauks but no work in progress picks.Thanks

The problem is, to put the Newport cap on, whaler had to remove chunks of the forward triangular bow steps to install the cap so, you would need to repair those areas.
