Why not take off those aluminum rails which are on hull and deck joint ?

Is there problem, is there need for those rails ?

Yes, bumber rail (red arrow in picture). Can that rail take off ?
I think these boats look better without the rails.

wannabe 06-12-2013 11:18 AM

THE rail hides the screws/bolts holding upper and lower hull together in most boats. You can remove but requires glassing over to make it look good.

What i have look inside the boat upper and lower hull are glassed together. I suppose that this rail hold nothing on chris cat.
Yes those outside skrew holes need to hide, glassing will be good way.

Yes that is true, the 2 halfs should be glassed together. Some manufactureres do a really good job, some less so. The rail- less look is clean .

Tim, Im meeting up with Ryan Sunday am and going to give him a cockpit cover for your cat, Its in pretty good shape, or you can just use it for a template to make a new one if you want.

Jolley 06-14-2013 11:48 AM
