I removed the bow rail last week as it was bent in one spot.

What do you guys think?

Wow Dan...that really does look good!...nice job...back in 1999 when I built up my 1st V20, I wanted to do zackly that cuz my buddy had a 21 Rabalo w/a black framed Windshield...I always thought it looked good...

You might see some more like that...I don't think I would paint the rub rail, cuz that IS gonna get chipped eventually...

Some non skid paints are too aggressive on the texture...one of the guys here partially sanded down the high tips of the texture on the paint he applied and then painted a second coat w/no texture in it...I always thought that a good idea...

I used U-Pol Raptor Truck bed liner for my floor. The rubber and texture make it non-skid, and there are no high spots to hurt the bare feet. You can get it in just about any color you want. I went with an off-white (kinda tan-ish) and I think it looks great.

Looks good! I was gonna color match mine to the hull color before I decided I wanted to actually use my boat instead of constantly add to the list of modifications. It's only time and money!
