Ryan,
 I'm not sure what thread or threads you are referring to, but that's not the case. There is no way in the RCU system for a user to be able to edit their post after the system has locked it. The only way a thread can be changed after that is by  a Moderator for that forum, a Community Moderator, or and Administrator to make the changes in the thread. There are many threads on RCU that are similar to yours where the member simply submits the needed changes to the moderator for that forum and they make the changes for them. I would suggest that this may be the best solution for you here as well. Justaddwatta and Dreaminhemi are the two Moderators for the Boat Forums. Send the changes to your thread to them and they will be able to take care of it for you.
