No rail?? Try tying fenders in the right places down here with pilings, walls... or walking up there when you have to get an anchor out fast in lumpy seas when you have a problem.

Any of us who really use the boats to do everything including the bar hops love the rails.

That is Austin driving, He was in Key West with the turbine boat.

Well, you do have a point. Understand we don't boat in areas with pilings. However, if we had not had the rail on the bow in Cambridge....we would have been in big trouble.

Thanks for the info on who was driving.

The other option I mentioned, was just a more low profile rail similar to what most new boats are using. They are stronger since they are usually one piece, instead if the older ones that have sections. You can tie lines, fenders, etc to them with ease.

You could paint or powdercoat it white, or whatever color you want to match the deck.

indians run faster on peyote buttons......

Word on the street is that he intends to use the rail mount holes for led lights that will chase down the deck like landing lights.

I like it.
Hmmmm....that would leave six holes to work with on mine

[Scarab KV]

I have to agree with barb on this one. My deck is slippery when wet and the wife and kids were up on the deck all the time.....umm look the other way Barb.....because of the hatches.

Rob, at least yours doesn't sit as high as mine. Got my foot under it one day and damn near broke my ankle.

They soar like eagles even...



Bonus points: name the movie..

The bow sits up pretty good from the deck. Looks close to what you have. It will bite you if you don't pay attention.

See, I'm up there all the time. He's not. So I know how to walk on the bow withing taking an ankle out.

I don't see you up there.

I see your parked next to a little boat so you look that much bigger. Must be an Apache thing

It's not all that hard. I did it with socks on.

Ha! That happens sometimes.

Yes you did.

You're a brave man

[fund razor]

Yes you did.

But I have big feet and I wasn't drunk yet.
Later I was barefoot.

Would the little guy not let The Chief tie up the the dock first, or was he already there?

That's what I was thinking. If I had his boat I'd be afraid the Chief would rip my cleats off

LMAO

He was already there, plus at the Casino when a boat leaves they pull you over, so we were up against a bigger boat most of the day.

Hey, no joke, I had my 18 center console out at a raft up one day, tied on the end. I come off a friends boat, look down the row, and there is a 34 Sea Ray tied on the outside of my boat. It has a total of 3 cleats about 5 inches long And the guy had no idea why I was so insistent about getting my boat out of there
