Alright, I've had this wild little idea going through my head for my 24, and I need to ask the brethren here for some opinions on this.

My boat is an '80. And I love the old-school of it. I absolutely love the tall life-line down the deck. This is the sort of thing I was looking for when I bought the boat (and I always wanted a 24 Pantera).

OK, so my wild idea:
I need to replace the rubrail. Existing is the big heavy extruded aluminum which I want to keep that look. Replace with the exact same thing (already found it at TACO).
Here's where I get crazy...
I'm thinking about glass capping the deck hull joint on the transom, and about 6 inches up the gunwale with NO rubrail on the transom (come on, who needs a rubrail on the transom??).
The original rubrail had some 4"x4" 90 degree transition pieces to go from the hullside to the transom, and I thought it looked a little bulky, and would like to change it to a bit of a smoother look.
I want to keep the boat old-school, but with some modern improvements.
I was talking with Sean about this the other night, but I wanted to get a few more opinions.
So, what are your thoughts guys??
