Sweet man! I'm usually not a big fan of bow rails but that is a real nice compromise between necessity and looks, the low-profile looks great.

Whatcha going to do with your radii? Do you plan to fair it all down before paint?

Very nice job on your bow rails, and the boat overall. It looks beautiful!

its hard to tell from the photos but I rounded all sharp corners and wrapped in glass, no air under the glass in the corners at all. since those pics I have sanded and filled all rough spots. ready for gelcoat, I'll probably roll on a few coats tomorrow after work! worked on the cooler insert today.
its been almost 3 years since I've had seats in the V, looking forward to sitting down and enjoying the ride!

Awsome! Let us know how the gelcoat works out. I plan to recore some hatches sooner rather than later and was thinking gelcoat underneath.

Seats are over-rated They are proven to lead to more passengers, who want "cushions", and "do we have to leave at dawn everytime?" and "can we go now, isn't 10 hours of standing and fishing enough?"
