Geez - it's like looking at my own boat.
I took a pic of mine last weekend after I replaced the life-line, and put it up as wallpaper on my work computer.
I've been staring at it all week, and it's been driving me nuckin' phutz that the screw in the rub-rail isn't centered on the bow. Forgive me for being so anal, I used to be a custom trim carpenter, and it was always tiny little details like this that can make the difference. I know, nobody but me would pick it out, but hey, I will pick it out.
Then, looking at this boat, I see they must have started running the rail from the same spot every time.

Honestly, I was wondering about that. And I've really been thinking about this - just show's how neurautic I may be to put so much thought into this.
I don't think it would actually be a stress point though, I would expect the stress to be dispersed before it would hit that high into the hull. And, a single screw through the hull/deck bond?? I don't see that causing any structural detriment.

I sold that boat new for $12,500.00 !
About the same it is being sold 30 years later. So stop being so picky, It is not a $200K 24'

You build an Awesome boat, as can be told by my 1981 still being around, and several other late 70's and '80s boats

Pepe, relax - I didn't mean it that way at all.
And I was sure there was a reason.
I was more just making a note that it is identical placement on both boats from that era.
I didn't mean any offense in any way.

I am relaxed! It bothers me when some of you criticize a $15K boat that on top of that is 30 years old and try to compare the detail to a $500K new boat.
It kind of gets ridiculuous! That is why a lot of people in the boat biz try to stay away from the board. I am just try to be the opposite, maybe I should try to also stay away.
No offense taken, I was just trying to explain the why of things.
