It seams that the top cap is loose at most areas, some areas worse than others Pulled a section of rub rail off around the bow, that area is the worst. Man of the holes are elongated from the movement. I have all the rivets out and most of the caulk out from the font cleats forward. There is a about a 1/4"- 5/15" gap between the hull and cap. The gap is non existent at the very end of the bow. My plan is to clean as best as I can with acetone. Then drilling a larger hold in the cap and screwing flat head screws into the smaller holes on the hull. Prior to tightening, put some 5200 between the two and then drawing them together by tightening the screws. I will wax the screws to keep them from bonding. Thoughts appreciated.1996 221 champion
