That would have been the right way to go but I am a bit too reactionary, and immediately grabbed a saw and chopped the gunwale in half, figuring I would have to scarph now. About 3/4 through the cut I realized I could have just used a small patch. Live and learn. I'm going to either run the ribs inside the gunwale and add a 3/4 square inwale to sandwich them, or spend some time making a better jig to route the mortices correctly. Every time I start a new project, it makes me want more tools, this one reminds me of my desire for a bandsaw and a router/router table. Some day, but I'll get by with what I have for now.

I took the rest of the afternoon and put it towards cleaning and reorganizing my workshop, then went for a walk with the wife and dog. It was a good use of time and I'm in a much better place now both mentally and physically to re-attack this project when I get some more shop time later this week.
