Bow rail, pros & cons
I'm considering having a custom bow rail made for my ZX. I've never seen one mounted on a ZX before, & I'm not sure if it would even be worth it. This will be my first boating season with it, & I can't help but wonder...first time I go to toss the ole front anchor out, & crawl out on the bow that I've spent so much time waxing, I either bust my *** , & or I go swimming 
...So, I was looking for a little input on bow rails, & if I decide to go with one, would it really be worth it, or could I just mount an extra long grab handle? As for the custom bow rail, does anyone have a contact for someone who builds them?

I feel your pain man. i have a customers 38ZX that i do pokerruns an stuff with once in a while (i call it prop testing 
) and i believe that whole boat was designed to toss you in the water. even the damn sunpad gets treterous if it wet 
thats a tough deck to put a rail on because of how clean the angle is. damn good lookin boat but tough to be out on the deck

I can hardly wait 
, LOL...I have considered doing something like my buddies Outlaw, he has a single rail running down the center of the bow, really looks good, & it seems to give ya something to hold on to when the waves are bouncin ya around. My only issue with that is the bow hatch is directly in the middle, I suppose I'll give it some more thought...
