Default How to get bow rail off.

I would like to remove the bow rail from my 24. I would like a cleaner look on the bow.

does anyone know how they were stuck on there?

Are there fasteners coming up from the underneath side of the deck?

If so, I guess I would have to drop the headliner in the cabin to get to them

Thsnks for any input.

Lol. Let’s just say hypothetically I wanted to take the bow rail off, how would a guy go about it. (Asking for a friend)

Im sure it is underneath the trim inside... they are all usually simply holding with a nit screwed on the bolt sticking out the rubrail... no other way i guess!

Keeping it now?
I think it would look very sleek with it removed!

Altering a classic Pantera does not enhance the chance of a sale IMHO. LOL I used that lifeline a lot to hang fenders off or keep a grip while getting to the bow cleat. I do think Pantera should have terminated the rail at the fairing rather than the deck so I do understand the aesthetic issue.

The rail is bolted on. You would have to cut the headliner around the bolts that mount the rail on. the F1 boat didnt have a head liner. So it was nice and easy to remove. Once you remove it. You will have holes in your deck too
