Can any one discuss the pros vs cons of putting in bars vs. handles for the back seats to grab ?

I think as long as you have something to hold on to great. I've never had the bars on a boat so I can't help with the pros and cons.

I guess I have "bars"

I think handles look cleaner but bars look good too and work great!

I think that the bars are much better than the handles. I much rather have a nice smooth rounded bar than a handle sticking out waiting for someone to bump into it.

Never realized there any other handles than the round one...

I have had both and prefer the wrap around handles better. I find they come in handy for other stuff too.

Running dry exhaust can do that to you.

LMAO!!
