couldn't you put some gatorgrip, seadek, or hydroturf (or the like) down on the gunwale as a step/protector pad?
Probably be alot cheaper than the step plates..........

i was looking at some seadeck but im not a little uneasy because i am not sure how good it will look being a different color. i mean i can go black or white, not really sure what would be the best fit for my boat though. my entire hull is blue including the gunwale, what do you think would look best?

I just repaired a couple chips in my garage, turned out good and is easy to do.
find a fiberglass fabrication shop. get a little jar of gelcoat, gerber baby food jar is what I was given,
get a little bottle of catalyst (its serious poison),
putty knife,
I had to buy an angle grinder because I couldnt access one from a friend... not that expensive and you dont need a top of the line one. i wish I would have got a 3 inch rather than 4 1/2 but oh well.
grind out the scratches/cracks into a v, fill with the gelcoat and catalyst give 24 hours to dry, sand and buff and Voila! you just repaired fiberglass
I was nervous, but it was painless...I still need to buff to get the shine.
my uncle has a tank fabrication business so it was easy for me to get the stuff so I cant help with prices you just dont need that much for small fixes where, I believe, if you asked nice they would hook you up.
the color matching could be a painful process if you needed that, my uncle makes white tanks and my chip and crack were in the white of my boat so It worked out.
good luck06 Mobius LS

the others were well answered, here is my bit:
i have an 08 LSV, same as you! when i fold the tower down, i push the back legs forward to the windshield.
when i "demo'ed" a dealer boat to fit in my garage, we lowered the tower and dropped a leg on the gel and chipped, same as you. i learned on someone elses boat i guess. had to pay for the repair though. the tower then folds down to the boat. the board rack rest on the gunwales. i have gator grip step pad to protect the gel, and the lives of people stepping into the boat.
i also have my board racks on the top tower bar.
pump, 6th the pelo 6000 pump. bought online from who ever i found the cheapest, don't worry about needing to return it, you won't.19 Mondo
08 LSV, forever loved
