Splash boards

When you find a boat like this, you usually don't get the original splash boards.  They  broke off and were ditched years ago.  This boat was just about fully found.  The old splash boards are worn and cracked but I'm going to reuse them.  I'm not going to install them as Fran did.  That must have caused some stiff legs back in the day as the boards came all the way down the cockpit and terminated at the aft deck.  They were also held proud of the deck by about 1/2 inch.  Hiking out with those digging into the back of your legs must have been quite painful!.

 I'm going to terminate them short of the aft deck and make them flush with the inner rail.
