Thanks for the suggestions on how to fix this problem. i didn't give out
much info because i was looking for a wide range of ideas... and numerous
suggestions have been posted... maybe there are a few more?

anyway i consider that the plastic part just wore out, the time period was
more like a year and a half, and i have used the boat maybe 120 times on
outings ranging from 5 to 15 miles (hi end cruising)... so for me, its not a
defective part, just one that may not be designed for longevity.

i could use foam blocks as a replacement, but given the pressure on them, it
seems like that is inviting a bulkhead blow out.
so
the al rails seem to be the direction for me to take. i appreciate the input
on the different al used in tent parts compared to those designed for marine
use. sound like an opportunity for nich tent part manufactures.

the suggestion that this is a good time to get another boat and paddle was
fantastic!  i'm working on that too.

if there are other suggestions, please post them.
