About to Commit to a Rebuild--Couple Questions First

[fishbonz]

Guest-  I have a 1972 Flatback and the only real advantage is that I can float shallower.  I don't think I really run any shallower than the 12 degree models.  If you do not go with the flatback, let me know.  I have several friends who are looking for a flatback hull.

where would you place the rail on a ccp????

Capt.kid,  I've posted a picture showing the Huckins MTB spray rail in my photo gallery.  The rail continues aft to the stern.  No reason an AS installation wouldn't  be the same.

This isn't the cheapest way, but they are supposed to be great.

You could always build them out of some thing else.  I've seen them made from wood, or starboard.

Thanks Wilson.  I'll have to check these out some more.  It looks like I could split one rail in half for my 170. It said to apply to 1/3 of the boat.  I know my 170 is much shorter around the water line, so it might just work (although one rail is not 1/2 cost of a pair :( )
