A gunwale for a boat. The gunwale can include an inner side and an outer side
coupled
at first ends to a top side forming a deck and at second ends to a bottom side.
The gunwale can also include a first slot opening downwardly adjacent the inner
side receiving a side panel of the boat, and a second slot opening downwardly adjacent
the outer side receiving a hull of the boat. The outer side of the gunwale can
also include a groove receiving a hook of a cover for the boat. A portion of the
gunwale can also have an inner surface forming a closed channel and an outer surface
forming an open channel through which lines can be run, and can also include a
removable keeper coupled to the gunwale to at least partially close the open channel.
The outer side of the gunwale can also include a laterally facing channel configured
to receive a bumper.
