Post Need a few opinions.
I've built my boats with 1x2 gunnel for a little while and just switched over to the extruded gunnel. Before I was making a template and rolling the gunnel straight from the the transom to about where the rake starts then curved. Now with the extruded I just pull it together and let it curve all the way back.

I like it both ways but what do y'all like?

This




Or this

I think I like the top one better (unpainted series of photos). It's kind of got a smooth bow to it.
